Josh Donaldson, a well-known baseball player, once played for the New York Yankees. He was also a former American League Most Valuable Player.
He rented a luxurious mansion in Greenwich for $55,000 each month. However, the property was not in good conditions. There was a lot of mold inside the house.
Because of the mold, Mr. Donaldson decided to sue his former landlord. He claimed the living situation was unacceptable. [3]
The legal process ended with a decision in his favor. He was awarded approximately $500,000 in damages. This money was to pay him back for the issues with the rental property. [2]
This case showed the importance of good property standards, even for expensive rentals.
