Chaos at a Beverly Hills residence: illegal tenants throw a "free" party, agent clarifies rental situation.

Chaos at a Beverly Hills residence: illegal tenants throw a "free" party, agent clarifies rental situation.

Хаос в резиденции Беверли-Хиллз: нелегальные жильцы устраивают "свободную" вечеринку, агент разъясняет ситуацию с арендой.

A group of imposters who allegedly took over a home in the Beverly Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles turned it into a "party house" and began inconveniencing local residents. According to John Woodward IV, the agent who handles real estate sales at the Beverly Grove Place address, the alleged imposters moved into the home in late October and have been living there ever since. Woodward says he was appointed as a court broker to sell the property.

Woodward said someone unauthorized changed the locks on the house and the code on the huge gate and then rented it out to several other people. He said he immediately called the police when he heard about it. However, the people in the house produced a "fake lease," to which the police said it was a "civil matter." Beverly Hills police said this is out of their jurisdiction and falls under the LAPD, so they cannot comment on the matter. Meanwhile, Los Angeles police did not immediately respond to USA TODAY's request for information.

Woodward said police have been there at least 50 times. "There are parties going on there with drugs, laughter and gas, orgies and other things," he says. He says people living on the estate also rent out rooms, advertising the property as "Beverly Hills Lodge." He says people have been arrested from the home on drug charges and creating a disturbance, but nothing has deterred its residents from creating chaos night after night.

Local residents in the neighborhood are complaining about the situation and told ABC News 7 that imposters are throwing wild parties, some of which they even charge admission for.

A local news outlet reports that "condoms and drug use items" are strewn around the home, which sits on the border of Beverly Hills and Bel Air.

One resident of the neighborhood told ABC7 that party guests arrive in loud cars, motorcycles and prowl around in Uber-esque vehicles, often at 2 a.m., creating noise and closing narrow single-lane roads. Fran Solomon, who owns a house nearby that he rents out, likened the situation to a "wandering pit bull." "There's a pit bull wandering around here with kids around," Fran Solomon said. "There's people drunk and high, going in and out, and then driving through the canyons. Does it take someone being killed for the police to do something?" Solomon said tenants in his home are forced to hire an armed security guard for their protection.

Woodward says the problems with the mansion stem from property issues. The house, which is now on the market for $4.5 million, was formerly owned by orthopedic surgeon Mounir Ouwaida, who left for Lebanon after being accused of killing 21-year-old model Juliana Redding, with whom he was also reportedly in a relationship. Uwaide has also been linked to an insurance fraud scheme and remains at large, according to the 2015 Los Angeles Times. The estate was built in 1999.

Woodward, who is not a police officer, said he has never seen anything like it in his 40-year career as a broker in Los Angeles. It is not yet clear who owns the property.
