Oscar Winner Da'Vine Joy Randolph Sues Landlord Over $17K/Month "Rental From Hell"
Oscar-winning actress Da’Vine Joy Randolph has sued Los Angeles landlord 421 NRD LLC, alleging maintenance and habitability problems at a luxury home she rented for $17,000 monthly. TMZ reported the lawsuit on August 15, 2026, saying Randolph leased the five-bedroom, six-bathroom, 4,452-square-foot residence in September 2024. According to allegations described in the report, Randolph experienced pest infestations, water leaks, inconsistent water pressure, defective doors and windows, faulty locks and other plumbing and security problems. She alleges that management received repeated notices but provided temporary or inadequate repairs. The lawsuit reportedly seeks unspecified damages and reimbursement for expenses, including pest-control services and hotel stays. 421 NRD LLC is an active California limited liability company registered as a real-estate investment business. Its manager is listed as Vida Yaghmai. No response from the company was located in accessible sources. The allegations have not been adjudicated, and further court filings could clarify disputed facts.
