‘RHOC’ Star Jennifer Pedranti’s Former Landlord Drops Lawsuit Over $10k Debt in Alleged Unpaid Rent (Exclusive)

Jennifer Pedranti’s legal issues with her former landlord have been resolved only weeks after the Real Housewives of Orange County star was hit with the lawsuit over alleged unpaid rent, Us Weekly can exclusively report.

According to court documents obtained by Us, on June 10, the case filed by Qian Gao, who leased a property in Orange County to Pedranti, was dismissed without prejudice.

The dismissal came after the parties attended mediation earlier this month.

In the lawsuit, Gao claimed Pedranti, 47, failed to pay all the rent owed.

Gao said Pedranti “terminated” her lease early and owed delinquent rent of $15,000 when she moved out of her home in January 2024.

The landlord said she offered a payment plan, which was “to pay $1,000 on the first of every month starting in February 2024 and $4,000 on December 31, 2024.

“Although [Pedranti] made partial payments of $4,850, the balance of $10,050 has not been paid,” the suit read. The landlord claimed she was currently living in China and would need to travel to appear in person for a trial.

She requested an additional $1,850 for travel expenses. On top of that, she said the home needed $3,000 to repair damages and clean the premises. She said that Pedranti paid her $4,200 on the bill, and her ex-husband, William Pedranti, paid $650.

She claimed Jennifer owed her around $12,000 for unpaid rent and other charges.

The battle with Gao was not the only case Jennifer had to fight recently.

Jennifer, her ex-husband, and their two business partners were ordered to pay a $165,976.60 judgment over unpaid rent owed on a yoga business.

The landlord accused the defendants, who run Devi Rebel Yoga, of failing to pay rent owed on the property they leased in 2019.

A settlement was reached in early 2024, where the defendants agreed to pay a total of $160,000 to resolve the matter.

A couple of months later, the landlord claimed Jennifer and the others involved had failed to make the promised payments on the plan. The landlord said the defendants made the first payment of $25,000, but none of the remaining payments. The landlord asked the court to enforce the settlement and order the Bravo star to cough up the money.

On April 2, the court granted the landlord’s request.

The order read, “The unopposed Motion to Enforce Settlement … [where the landlord] asks the Court to enter judgment for Plaza El Paseo Center, LLC and against [Jennifer, William and the two other business partners] in the principal amount of $160,026.60 and award attorneys’ fees and costs …is GRANTED.”

In 2024, on Season 18, Jennifer spoke about owing over $20,000 to her landlord. She said she couldn’t “breathe” at the time due to her financial issues.

On the show, she admitted to owing the 5-figure sum after falling behind on payments on a home that fellow RHOC star Gina Kirschenheiter helped her find.

Jennifer joined RHOC in season 17 and will return for season 19, which recently completed filming.
