A Manhattan woman is suing fashion designer Elie Tahari after renting his Hamptons home because she claims she found it infested with 'flies and vermin and reeking of mold, urine and feces.'
Bridget Maguire claims she rented the home from the Israeli designer without seeing it first and gave him $415,000 upfront, according to the New York Post.
The three-bedroom, three-bath Sagaponack home was featured on real estate sites revealing a clean luxury space and amenities such as a pool and private sun decks overlooking the ocean.
Maguire filed the $13 million lawsuit with Manhattan Supreme Court against Tahari's ET Crestview Leasing LLC.
In the suit, she claims she discovered the home to be 'infested with flies, mosquitos and various vermin and reeked of mold, urine, and faces', the Post reports.
The lawsuit also claims that the pool was 'green with algae', and that the air conditioning was 'completely nonfunctional.'
