Doherty Kicked Out in The Street

Not a week goes by without the British singer Pete Doherty making all the headlines, be it for his on-off relationship to supermodel Kate Moss, his brush-offs with the law or his tripping at some concert or another.

This time, Doherty is being evicted from his London flat, for not paying rent for it since January. The $630,000 property is situated in Hackney and is now in such a poor condition, that the landlord is forced to evict the rocker, presently admitted in rehab.

The debt, only for rent (without adding the damages done to the place), rises up to $18,000 and the landlord is more than relieved to know that Pete will no longer be coming back there. He says that the floor is littered with pieces of broken glass and used up syringes and that, on the whole, the entire place is a complete wreck.

'As well as not paying his rent, there's both graffiti and blood on the wall, and goodness knows what else. We have never known anyone like him. [Doherty] is the worst tenant in my company's entire history', the landlord told a British newspaper.

Doherty's neighbors also had something to say about the man whom they hope they will never meet again: "The front door was nearly always boarded up and covered in graffiti. Then there were the groupies hanging around on the doorstep and his junkie pals banging on his door at all hours and the endless, headbanging racket. We are glad he's going."

Lucky for him, Doherty will not be living in the street... yet. For a while, he is forced (under a judge's order) to stay at Priory Clinic, undergoing mandatory treatment for his drug use.
