Courtney Love Wins Lawsuit Against Landlord

Courtney Love sad
Courtney Love
will NOT be evicted from her luxury Manhattan townhouse -- TMZ has learned, a judge just tossed out the landlord's case, because it turns out Courtney did exactly what a good tenant is supposed to do -- pay her rent.

Courtney's landlord filed the eviction lawsuit, claiming she owed $54,000 for 2 months of back rent.  But the judge just ruled the landlord was way off base.  Turns out the landlord and Courtney had made an agreement after the lease was signed that altered the payment schedule.  Courtney was paying according to the new deal, but the landlord was trying to enforce the original one.

So bottom line ... Courtney gets to stay.

P.S.  The landlord said originally that in addition to owing rent, Courtney accidentally set the joint on fire.  The judge didn't address the whole fire thing.

Why is that tramp renting?! Super stupid. Hopefully when her lease is up the landlord will throw her out on her ass! Hate that bitch!

Good for her. If I were Courtney i'd say goodbye and move to another place. It'd be stupid to keep giving money to the landlord who went to court and talked to newspapers before talking to you.

I still can't believe ANYONE rents to this woman. She has problems with every single landlord. And it's utterly insane she "rents" to begin with. She's blowing money faster than she can cash royalty checks. BUY A DAMN HOUSE and quit paying rent before you are broke again and start making up more "Everyone stole my money!" stories.

^This photo is old. Courtney is known for not looking classy, but this still is terrible. She was at the Golden Globes after parties this weekend, not looking very good but not ^ bad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-mxRd0icKPY

If she can afford $27,000 a MONTH for rent, why doesn't she buy a house????? What a waste of money.
