The landlord of the Hollywood Hills home that formerly housed the creative collective “Hype House” is suing the group of TikTok influencers for breach of contract and for allegedly causing more than $300,000 in damages to his home.
Fitzgerald told KTLAthat the group allegedly caused more than half a million dollars in damages to the home’s tilework and jacuzzi and were responsible for leaving water and roof damage.
The landlord also claimed that the group of influencers' alleged use of pyrotechnics inside the home also caused damages.

“They’re young,” Fitzgerald told KTLA. “They think, ‘Oh, you don’t have to pay, and you can make up your own rules,’ but they have to understand what they signed. They signed a court document, and you have to live up to it.”
He added that the group’s co-founder, Petrou, should be held primarily responsible.
“They’re nice people,” he said. “We just want Thomas to pay the bill. Thomas is the boss, you know, and he has the money, or if you get the other people to pay it, that’ll be great too.”
