As per legal motions, Goldhammer is demanding an amount of $60,000 as unpaid rent and damages. Goldhammer said that he had demanded $6,650 a month from Gigandet, only to learn later that Gigandet and Giesendoff had vacated the home before the end of the lease.
"Defendants thereafter, breached the lease by failing to pay the entire rent from November 2023 through February 2024. Plaintiff then served the notice on Defendants demanding payment or forfeiture of the lease. Defendants failed to pay the rent owed, but nevertheless, continued to occupy the [home].” Goldhammer argued in court.

“[Gigandet] is informed and believes and thereon alleges, he is excused from performance under the agreement alleged in the First Amended Complaint due to the acts, omissions, and/or material breaches of [Goldhammer] with respect to the matters and things alleged in the First Amended Complaint.” Argued Gigandet's lawyers.
