A couple that paid $100,000 to rent a $7 million Hamptons mansion for a month added to their tab by ruining its floors, pricey Alpaca blankets and a cornhole table, a lawsuit alleges.
Damien and Tina Vanderwilt shelled out the dough to stay in Lior Yahalomi’s four-bed, six-bath, 4,353-square-foot Water Mill manse in August, agreeing to leave the place clean and ready for the owners to return, Yahalomi contended.
Instead, the couple and their dogs caused more than $50,000 in damage to the hardwood floors, left damaged walls and ruined $2,000 cashmere blankets, Yahalomi alleged in court papers.
“We’ve been renting the house for several years. We’ve never had such tenants that were so disrespectful and left significant damages,” Yahalomi told The Post.
The property, which Yahalomi said in court papers sustained roughly $68,000 in damages altogether, includes a gym, playroom, theater and pool house.
The Vanderwilts allegedly “dragged a large and heavy wood framed Hastens bed across the gym and a long hallway into the movie theatre. This dragging created major damage on the wood floors across approximately 100 ft,” Yahalomi alleged.
Hastens beds can range up to $315,000 in price.
They also relocated a “heavy foosball table” to the gym, and then moved it several times more, adding to the floor damages, Yahalomi said.
The Vanderwilts — Damien works for digital asset and blockchain company Galaxy, and Tina works in marketing — wrecked more than just the floors, Yahalomi alleged.
Besides the cashmere blankets, the couple also allegedly trashed three Alpaca blankets, which retail for $990 apiece, likely by tossing them in a washing machine; left a $272 corn hole table outside in the rain; and “broke” a $80 trash can, Yahalomi, who heads the $1.3 billion Versa Capital Management private equity fund.
Yahalomi is also asking for $9,000 because the Vanderwilts allegedly refused to let his cleaning team in over the Labor Day weekend delaying his ability to return.
Tina Vanderwilt denied the allegations, calling them “completely unfounded and not true.”
