HONOLULU —
A Japanese billionaire accused of having dilapidated homes after he tried
to evict hundreds of renters in California for complaining about mold
health problems is suing a real estate firm, claiming it mismanaged his
properties.
The lawsuit filed Friday in federal court on behalf of Gensiro Kawamoto
against CB Richard Ellis Inc. of Sacramento, CA, claims an unspecified
amount of damages for alleged wrongful acts, including breach of contract,
the Associated Press reported.
Kawamoto, a reclusive businessman with investments in California and
Hawaii, issued 570 eviction notices in February to tenants in Sacramento
and Santa Rosa, giving them 30 days to move out.
He extended the deadline to June after an intense public outcry. He has
said he plans to sell the properties to raise money for other investments.
But authorities said they suspect Kawamoto may have tried to evict tenants
because they complained about problems, including mold that caused bloody
noses, rashes, fatigue and respiratory problems.
On April 29 Kawamoto settled a lawsuit accusing him of keeping 149 rental
homes in Santa Rosa in disrepair. Under the settlement, he is required to
pay the county $80,000 in legal fees, make thousands of dollars worth of
repairs and offer current and some former tenants up to two months' free
rent.
