Cory Mills being evicted from ultra-luxurious DC penthouse after failing to pay $85k in rent
Republican Rep. Cory Mills of Florida is getting evicted from his ultra-luxury penthouse apartment in Washington, D.C., after allegedly failing to pay rent for months.
Mills, 45, has been staying at a swanky D.C. apartment building that overlooks the Potomac River in the capital's bustling southwest neighborhood.
It's the same residence that D.C. police responded to after the congressman's girlfriend reported him to authorities for allegedly assaulting her, though she later recanted her complaint.
Now, the property manager claims that the sophomore lawmaker owes over $85,000 in rent, according to local court filings first reported by journalist Roger Sollenberger.
Documents from D.C.'s superior court show that the Republican has failed to pay his $20,000 per month rent on time, and in some cases, missed certain payments altogether.
Mills' office did not respond to the Daily Mail's request for comment. The congressman did, however, speak to Sollenberger, telling him the link to pay his rent was broken, the journalist wrote on X.
According to a ledger of rent payments obtained by the journalist, Mills has been late on rent 18 times, including not paying rent at all certain months.
He has also payed back some of the missing months, though he still owes the property $85,000 for 'total rent due' from March 2025 to July 2025, according to the court documents.
Sarah Raviani told Washington law enforcement she and Mills got into a domestic dispute at his residence earlier this year - the same residence that Mills is now being evicted from. No wrongdoing was done, both have said, and no charges have been filed. Mills is in the midst of a divorce from his wife Rana Al Saadi

The files allege that Mills was first given a notice for failure to pay in January.
'I know facts are unusual and unfamiliar thing for you, but here’s just the past two months where you can see I’m repeatedly asking for payment links and again as I tried with management today, it failed to process,' Mills responded to the journalist's initial report.
'“Error code 108 typically indicates an issue with the Windows Installer Service, often meaning another installation is already running. It can also be related to bank connectivity problems in financial software,"' the Republican said, claiming his payment portal has been faulty.
The eviction is just the latest rocky headline for the Florida Republican.
It was revealed that Mills, who is married with two kids, was embroiled in a domestic dispute with a woman who is not his wife in February. The congressman is in the midst of getting a divorce from his wife Rana Al Saadi, he has said.
Sarah Raviani, a co-founder of Iranians for Trump, phoned the police after '(Her significant other for over a year) grabbed her, shoved her, and pushed her out of the door' of his apartment, a copy of the initial incident report obtained by NBC claims.

Raviani showed 'bruises on her arm which appeared fresh', the report stated, in addition to claiming that Mills instructed her to lie to authorities about what took place.
However, Raviani told the Daily Mail in a statement earlier this year that 'no assault took place' and downplayed the incident.
She also shared that Mills is a Christian who actively attends church and regularly prays - an admission meant to bat down allegations that the congressman may not be as devout as he has led some to believe.
A report from The Blaze earlier this year casted doubt on Mills' Christian faith. An anonymous source close to Mills revealed to the outlet that the Republican became a practicing Muslim after marrying his wife in a traditional ceremony at a Islamic center close to D.C.

The cleric who officiated the wedding is reportedly an unindicted co-conspirator in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
Reports further indicate that the officiator, Mohammad Al-Hanooti, was a leader of the Muslim Brotherhood and a fundraiser for Hamas.
Mills, meanwhile, is a conservative Christian who represents a fairly red district along the Florida coast.
The Republican has explained the wedding administered by Al-Hanooti was meant to protect his wife as she traveled to Iraq to visit an ailing relative.
She 'would’ve been arrested' without documentation of her religious marriage to Mills, the congressman told The Blaze.
Al-Hanooti, was sick at the time and died 'months' after the wedding, Mills recounted. 'I don’t know the damn guy.'
