She’s been living there rent-free ever since, and she refused to budge unless Jovanovic paid her a relocation fee of $100,000," the Times reports.Hirschhorn's attorney told the Times that "she was not required to pay rent because the city had never approved the unit for occupancy and that its shower was constructed without a permit."Because of those code violations, the city determined that Jovanovic couldn't evict Hirschhorn, whom he claims won't let him into the unit to bring it up to code.“She’s the tenant from hell,” Sebastian Rucci, an attorney representing Jovanovic, told the Times. “I...
