Report: Manziel sued for $40,000 over damages to L.A. rental house

Former Cleveland Browns quarterback Johnny Manziel is being sued for $40,000 by the owner of an L.A. home worth $4.5 million. Manziel allegedly threw parties in the rental house that caused thousands of dollars in property damage over a two-day period in April, reports TMZ Sports.

Nicholas Goodwin, the real estate broker who owns the property, alleges that Manziel approached him to rent the house under the alias "Travis," but that Goodwin immediately recognized the renter was Manziel.

Goodwin alleges that Manziel agreed to pay a $10,000 fine if more than 15 people came to the house at one time and allowed the former quarterback to rent the house under the assurance it was strictly for his own private use.

However, Goodwin says Manziel's parties required a "hazardous material clean up" to dispose of the drugs left behind, and that they were so disruptive, the police were called to the house.

"They were supposed to check out at noon," Goodwin told Page Six's Emily Smith in April when the story first broke. "Manziel was passed out. ... There was cocaine all over the kitchen table, and mushrooms were still out on the table in front of him. There was booze everywhere ... broken glasses over the floor and a Champagne glass in a tree."

The $40,000 Goodwin is seeking includes the $10,000 party penalty fine for exceeding the number of people allowed in the house.
