Lindsay Lohan’s younger brother, Michael Lohan Jr., is being sued by New York Attorney General Letitia James. The lawsuit claims he illegally removed rent protections from over 150 apartments in Brooklyn and Queens. He is accused of working with several property owners connected to Peak Capital Advisors to push out existing tenants and turn their homes into expensive luxury apartments.
According to the NY Post, the group allegedly bought 31 buildings in popular neighborhoods like Greenpoint and Williamsburg starting in 2019. Their plan was to convert 159 rent-protected apartments into regular market-rate units. This allowed them to charge much higher rents, sometimes up to $6,500 per month.
