In New York City $27,000 per month can get you a fancy apartment in the West Village. It can't, however, get you a free ticket to trash the place and nearly burn it down.

Sobriety vampire Courtney Love learned this lesson the hard way today when she was evicted from her apartment by an angry landlord who said she "ruined" it, and will cost her more than $100,000 to repair the place.

The New York Post reports:

Owner Donna Lyon claims Love, 46, has damaged the property, altering its designer interior by painting over hand-finished walls, and owes over $50,000 rent.

. . . "Courtney has wallpapered and painted a large portion of the property without my consent. I learned about this when I wanted to sell the house and had photographs taken. They sent me the brochure and I said, 'This can't be my property.' I came to New York to see it and I was horrified by what she had done. The walls that had been hand-painted and glazed were ruined, covered in damask wallpaper and ice-blue paint."

Besides the terrible wallpaper and paint, Love also nearly burned the place down in June when she lit a bunch of candles and caught some curtains on fire.

The apartment, built in 1827 and featuring three bedrooms, five bathrooms, a huge living room, and six (count-em-six!) fireplaces was recently featured Elle Decor (before Love had her way with it).

Don't worry, Courtney. You'll always have a home in our hearts.
