Kenan Thompson, the beloved comedian and star of“Saturday Night Live,”is facing a lawsuit from his landlord that has most definitely turned him from laughs to legal woes. The landlord claims Thompson owes over $34,000 after breaching a lease on a three-bedroom rental in Los Angeles, where he was supposed to pay a generous $10,250 a month. The suit states that Kenan missed payments for two months and significantly fell short of making financial ends meet, leaving his landlord scrambling to cover the financial gap.
According to the lawsuit, after Thompson broke the lease, the landlord struggled to find a replacement tenant at full rent. Instead, they had to settle for a tenant willing to pay less, which adds more pressure onto Kenan’s already staggering bill. The landlord is now seeking not only unpaid rent but also fees related to finding a new tenant, late fees, and broker costs, chalking up his total debt to a staggering $34,390 after accounting for a security deposit. One can’t help but imagine if this will be another episode of “SNL” sketch material in the making!
With the legal battle heating up, it raises a question for the fans and the public: Can someone so adored on screen find a way to laugh off this real-life predicament? It seems rent might be the unwelcome punchline in Kenan’s latest routine, leaving everyone to wonder how this legal drama will play out.
