Justin Bieber’s mom is in trouble now

Justin Bieber arrives with his mother at the 40th American Music Awards in Los Angeles

Apparently Justin Bieber‘s been paying rent on a California mansion for his mother, Pattie Mallette, for the past two years. It’s a pretty nice place – 2,900 square feet, in fact – but now there’s a bit of trouble brewing over some illegal construction she wants to do.

From TMZ:

Seems Pattie wanted to do some home improvement in her home gym but never got the permission of her landlord.  She had a mirror installed last summer, but didn’t pay the bill.  So the company that did the work has filed a lien against the property … and her landlord was none too pleased.

The lien was for a modest $3,414.  We’re told Pattie thought she was being overcharged and refused to pay.  Pattie settled up a week ago for around $2,600.  And TMZ informed the landlord Friday and he was PISSED!

As for who’s paying the $8,000 monthly rent … we’ve learned one of Justin’s companies is handling it.

“One of Justin’s companies” must be the code name for the team of lawyers he’s hired specifically to do settlements/plea deals for all the fuckery he gets involved in, I’m sure.

Seems like Biebers and California properties don’t really mesh well, eh?
