Ex-Tenant Who Got Booted For Subletting His NYC Apartment Gets Hammered By Landlord w/ $3 Million Libel Suit For Allegedly Posting Sexist, Libelous Comments Directed Toward Managing Agent

In New York City, the New York Post reports:
  • A tenant who was evicted from his luxury apartment vented his rage on the building’s managing agent, calling the woman a “drug-addicted harlot who sucks and f–ks for money and drugs” on two Web sites, according to court papers.

    So the landlord of 95 Wall St., UDR Inc., is suing former resident Andrew Watroba for $3 million in a libel suit.

    UDR hauled Watroba to Housing Court last December after he refused to leave when he was caught illegally subletting, the suit says.

    Watroba, 36, agreed to leave, but not before making the libelous posts at complaintsboard.com and liarscheatersrus.com , according to the Manhattan Supreme Court suit.

    The screeds also blame managing agent Tara Dexter for turning the building into “a veritable den of prostitution and drugs and debauchery,” the suit says.

    Watroba did not return a call for comment.
