The representative Cory Mills, R-Fla., Faces to a lawsuit that seeks its eviction for alleged lack of paying thousands of dollars for rent on a property in Washington, DC, according to judicial documents.
In a complaint filed in the Superior Court of DC last week, Bozzuto Management Company said the congressman did not pay a total of $ 85,009 for rent between March and July. The monthly rental for the property, according to the presentation of the court, is $ 20,833.
The Management Company is asking the Court that allows the factories and an order that requires that future monthly payments with the court until the case is resolved. An initial audience is scheduled for September 8.
The demand was first reported by Roger Sollenberger, an independent journalist.

A largest resident book that accompanies the demand of the Management Company seems to show that Mills has not been able to repeatedly pay its rent in time, and that rates were often evaluated due to backward payments. He moved to the property in June 2023.
According to judicial documents, Mills received in January with a notice to pay more than $ 18,000 in the expiration rental before February 26, and a notice of the company’s intention to file a lawsuit.
A Mills spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comments on Monday night, but Mills published screenshots in X earlier on the day that, according to him, he showed him that “he repeatedly asked for payment links and again while trying it with management today, he could not process.”
A lawyer who appears on the list of the Management Company did not immediately respond to the requests for comments on the publication of Mills’ social networks.
The police in February opened an investigation into Mills for an report of an alleged assault in an apartment building in the same block as the rental dispute. Mills’s office said that “vehemence” denied any irregularity, and a police spokesman at that time said that the congressman was not arrested and that no charges had been presented.
Mills has represented the seventh district of the Florida Congress since January 2023.
