The lawsuit, filed in Miami-Dade County, accuses Butler of being a nightmare tenant, leaving behind an estimated $125,000 in damages, including mold damage, new drywall, and more.
Five Star alleges that Butler left the 5,398-square-foot property in total disarray. The lawsuit claims he changed the locks to the residence and prohibited property managers from entering the premises.
Butler overstayed his lease, which expired in August 2024, by two months. He had lived at the residence since August 2022.
Butler forced his way out of Miami, claiming he’d lost his “joy” as part of the Heat. He was traded to Golden State on February 5 and signed a new contract extension totaling two years and $121 million.
