Filed under: Celebrity Justice, Will Ferrell
Two years after Will Ferrell picked a fight with his tiny landlord in the video that launched “Funny or Die” … the comedy website is now picking a fight with its real life property owners … in a new lawsuit obtained by TMZ.
In the docs, filed yesterday in L.A. County Superior Court, Funny or Die, Inc claims it signed a 2-year lease to rent space in an L.A. office building … and threw down a $200k deposit.
Long story short, the lease expired … and F.O.D. decided to move out in September. F.O.D. claims the building owners performed a final walk-through and decided everything was cool.
F.O.D. alleges that when it asked for its security deposit back … building owners went off the radar … and when they did reappear, the owners still refused to give the money back … citing damage to the property that wasn’t pointed out during the walk-through.
Funny or Die is now demanding the owners return the entire deposit … plus other damages.
In the meantime, check out the “Landlord” video again … so good.
