Dancing with the Stars stud Mauricio Umansky involved in real estate scandal
Real estate scandal involving Mauricio Umansky, owner of UMRO Realty Corp, revealed in a lawsuit filed by a Los Angeles homeowner, who claims the company placed difficult tenants in his home, causing approximately $1 million in damages. The tenants allegedly caused significant damage to the property, furniture, designer clothes, paintings, and the garden, as well as consuming expensive wine from the home’s cellar. Umansky has faced similar accusations in the past, including a lawsuit alleging his involvement in a questionable real estate deal with a developer and his realtor, which resulted in a significant profit on a sold mansion. UMRO denied the allegations and filed a cross-complaint against the couple and the company used to rent the home.
Mauricio Umansky’s UMRO Realty Corp. is being sued by a Los Angeles homeowner for allegedly placing problematic tenants in a $12 million mansion, resulting in over $1 million in damages, and this is not the first time Umansky has been accused of misconduct in real estate deals.
Reality TV star Mauricio Umansky, best known for his stint on Dancing with the Stars, has found himself entangled in yet another real estate scandal that has left his company, UMRO Realty Corp., facing a shocking legal battle. According to court documents obtained exclusively by our website, a Los Angeles homeowner has filed a lawsuit against UMRO alleging that the company’s brokers placed troublesome tenants into his house, resulting in approximately $1 million in damages.
The lawsuit alleges that the tenants not only caused extensive damage to the property, furniture, designer clothes, and artwork, but also reportedly made about $100,000 worth of vintage wine disappear from the home’s wine cellar. Furthermore, the suit accuses UMRO of being aware of the renters’ history of “contractual fraud” but still chose to vouch for them in a purported money-making scheme to place them in a $55,000-per-month Pacific Palisades mansion.
This isn’t the first time Umansky has faced accusations of questionable business dealings through UMRO. In a separate legal battle, he is being sued for allegedly ignoring a $40 million bid on a property, resulting in a hefty profit for himself and his partner. The latest lawsuit, filed in May 2021, names UMRO and two of its real estate agents as defendants and asserts that the tenants engaged in extreme, wrongful conduct during their occupancy at the premises.
The homeowner’s lawsuit claims that UMRO should have been aware of the couple’s history of fraud and unlawful detainer, and accuses the realty company of failing to inform the homeowner of these crucial facts prior to the lease transaction. UMRO has denied the allegations and filed a cross-complaint against the couple and the shell company used to rent the home. As the legal battle unfolds in the Los Angeles Superior Court, the allegations continue to paint a troubling picture of UMRO’s business practices.
