Emily Ratajkowksi and her millionaire filmmaker husband are living rent-free in their New York City loft due to an obscure law, their landlord claims.
According to the New York Post, the model and her husband, producer Sebastian Bear-McClard, have a $5,000-a-month loft in NoHo, a trendy upper-class neighborhood in Manhattan.
But due to a loophole, the couple allegedly has been able to avoid paying rent for the apartment at 49 Bleecker Street since 2017 and owe about $120,000.
A landlord claims model Emily Ratajkowski and her husband Sebastian Bear-McClard (pictured together, March 2018) have a loft in New York City's Noho neighborhood that costs $5,000-a-month in rent
The loft at 49 Bleecker Street is in NoHo, a trendy upper-class neighborhood in Manhattan
The Post reports that, according to court documents, Bear-McClard, 31, and Ratajkowski, 27, sublet the 1,100 square-foot apartment on the second floor last year.
The lease expired in 2017, but Bear-McClard has failed to pay rent since, lease holder Antoni Ghosh allegedly said in Manhattan Civil Court.
This is due to a 1982 state law that protects tenants in New York City who are illegally living in commercial or factory buildings.
In the 1970s, Noho - and the nearby neighborhood Soho - were considered among the last places in New York City for struggling artists.
According to CityRealty, renters worried that, as expensive gallerists infiltrated, rent prices would spike and they'd be forced out.
The law was partially made to protect struggling artists living in these units so they wouldn't be evicted.
The lease expired in 2017 and the landlord claims the couple (left in March 2018 and right in February 2019) has not paid rent since - the equivalent of about $120,000. They are protected by a 1982 law, originally enacted to help struggling artists not be forced out of their lofts
Tenants can't be kicked out if the building does not have a certificate of occupancy or has not been brought up to code; the building does not have a certificate
Landlords are unable to force tenants out if the building didn't have a residential certificate of occupancy and landlords were required to bring converted residences up to code.
The building at 49 Bleecker doesn't have a certificate of occupancy.
According to Superbhub, Bear-McClard has a net worth of $11million while his wife has a net worth of roughly $6million.
'Here is a prime example, in prime NYC real estate, where an uber-wealthy celebrity couple and tenant can take advantage and exploit a law that was intended for truly struggling artists and low-income families in need of affordable housing,' Carolyn Daly, spokeswoman for a coalition of loft building owners that includes 49 Bleecker, told the New York Post.
Ghosh's attorney Michael Kozek said his client is seeking to evict the couple.
'Mr McClard is fighting to save his home, which he has lived in for years,' Kozek told the Post.
'He's an artist. Born and raised New Yorker and a child of artists who themselves fought to save their homes, including under the Loft Law.'
Originally the loft served as the art studio of oil painter Joanne Corneau, who vacated in the 1990s, according to the Post.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
