Celebrity Justice
Landlord to Brit: Pay Your Rent, Bitch!

As if Britney hasn't had enough tsuris, her Malibu landlord tried evicting her this month.

TMZ has seen documents sent to the official lessee for Brit -- Love Shack Trust. The documents, dated February 14, states that Brit was more than two weeks late in paying her $35,000-a-month rent. A $2,100 late charge kicked in, which was not paid. The documents state that Love Shack must either pay up or "surrender and deliver up possession of said Premises..."

There's an interesting last line in the docs, citing Section 594 of the Penal Code of California: "Every person who maliciously injures or destroys any real or personal property not his own...is guilty of vandalism."

Sources tell us Brit's financial peeps (not Jamie) screwed up but Love Shack is now current on rent and late fees and it's all kumbaya in Malibu.

8. Love Shack Trust? lol... I guess Grossman wasn't any good at his job. Bet he wasn't late paying his own salary!

So, why don't you get an aerial shot of her home so we know where x17 is taking pics from. Maybe Pops can use them and get them off the roof!

ANYTIME YOU'VE MONEY .........ALWAYS WRITE A CHECK IF YOU'RE BUYING SOMETHING ....

NEVER RENT OR LEASE , YOU DONT GET A TAX WRITE OFF .............

HECK I HAVE MORE COMMON SENSE THEN THEY DO.

14. $35,000/mo. in rent? Haven't all those financial advisors told her that it makes more sense to purchase property? Jamie should enroll Brit in a business course instead of another dance class.

15. I don't like Brittney...a

BUT LEMME SAY THIS!!!!!!! LISTEN UP!!!!!!!!!!!!
