Courtney Love moved into new Manhattan apartment after winning legal battle with her ex-landlord
Courtney Love moved out of her West Village, New York townhouse, last month, after winning her vicious, legal battle with her ex-landlord.
Now, Courtney Love, 47, is hoping to a smoother domestic situation in her new home.
Courtney Love is now living in a rented condominium in the Nolita district of Manhattan and is getting on famously with her new landlords.
The singer revealed she is now living in “the Lafayette building – everyone calls it that – near the New Museum”.
When Courtney Love moved in last month, she even got U2 rocker Bono to write her a character reference.
The singer told the New York Daily News: “They didn’t even credit-check. They chose Bono (from my character references). And he wrote me a paragraph.”
So far, Courtney Love was only run into one clash with neighbors, when she was playing loud music, but has vowed to keep the volume down from now on after finding out one was pregnant.
The singer said: “It’s all good now. I didn’t know! I don’t do noise complaints.”
In January, Courtney Love won her legal battle against her Chicago-based landlady Donna Lyons, who had accused the singer of owing her $50,000 in rent.
Judge Jean Schneider of New York County Housing cancelled the case saying Donna Lyons had improperly relied on outdated lease provisions.
Courtney Love had been renting the $27,000-a-month townhouse on West 10th Street for 11 months, but has apparently not been missing payments.
Her lawyer Eric Sherman said: “We are pleased with the court’s decision.
“The judge decided there was no <<non>> in the non-payment. She has always paid her rent on time, in fact sometimes in advance of when it was due.”
Given her recent tweeting, Courtney Love is very happy in her new abode.
She wrote on March 10: “I like this pad better – and my landlord teddy and mrs teddy are so very very cool and chic and live next-door – not a nasty fatty from Chi.”
