The widow of Hamptons real estate big shot Brandon Miller was sued last week by an Upper East Side landlord for unpaid rent between April and July at their luxurious $49,000-per-month Park Avenue pad.
Mak Acquisitions filed the lawsuit against influencer Candice Miller on September 12 in hopes of recouping nearly $195,000 in rent that that socialite allegedly skipped out on, according to legal papers.
Brandon Miller was in a mountain of debt when he took his own life earlier this summer. The 43-year-old developer was found unresponsive in his car in the garage of his sprawling Hamptons mansion, and was pronounced dead at the hospital several days later on July 3.
The lawsuit against Candice Miller, 42, claims she owes rent between April and July.
The rent was $47,000 the first two months she didn’t pay before it was raised to $49,000, according to the legal action that was filed in state court.
Miller agreed to vacate the five-bedroom apartment at 737 Park Avenue at the end of August, but only owes $2,000 for that month because Mak Acquisitions kept her security deposit, according to the lawsuit.
Overall, she owes $194,881, the lawsuit states.
Candice relocated to a Miami condo with her two daughters in August, Page Six reported at the time.
Candice and her late spouse appeared to live a dreamy lifestyle, but it was mostly a mirage with Brandon Miller secretly in debt.
Brandon Miller, the principal at Real Estate Equity Corporation, was nearly $34 million in the red and had just $8,000 in his bank account, TheRealDeal previously reported.
Candice is the founder of lifestyle and mommy blog Mama & Tata and a familiar face on the Hamptons social scene. She put her debt-ridden mansion on Long Island up for sale in August.
Lawyers for Candice Miller and Mak Acquisitions did not immediately return a request for comment late Monday night.
