Landlord seeks to evict Republican congressman over unpaid rent at D.C. apartment

Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., is involved in a lawsuit for eviction due to allegedly not paying thousands in rent for a Washington, D.C. property, as stated in court documents.

Bozzuto Management Company filed a complaint in D.C. Superior Court last week, claiming the congressman missed $85,009 in rent payments from March to July. The monthly rent for the property is listed as $20,833 in the court documents.

The management company seeks court approval to evict Mills and wishes for an order demanding future rent payments to be made through the court until the matter is settled. An initial hearing is planned for Sept. 8.

The lawsuit was first reported by Roger Sollenberger, an independent journalist.

A resident ledger accompanying the management company’s lawsuit appears to show Mills has repeatedly failed to pay his rent on time, and that he was frequently assessed fees for late payments. He moved into the property in June 2023.

According to court papers, Mills was served in January with a notice to pay over $18,000 in past due rent by Feb. 26, and a notice of the company’s intent to file a lawsuit.

A spokesperson for Mills did not immediately respond to a request for comment Monday night, but Mills posted screenshots on X earlier in the day that he said showed him “repeatedly asking for payment links and again as I tried with management today, it failed to process.”

An attorney listed for the management company did not immediately respond to requests for comment about Mills’ social media post.

Police in February opened an investigation into Mills over a report of an alleged assault at an apartment building on the same block as that of the rental dispute. Mills’ office said he “vehemently” denied any wrongdoing, and a police spokesperson at the time said the congressman was not arrested and no charges had been filed.

Mills has represented Florida’s 7th Congressional District since January 2023.
