Kyle Richards reportedly sued sister Kim to evict her from LA condo and 'demanded $140 a day for overstaying'

Kyle Richards and her sister Kim Richards’ ongoing feud appears to have escalated, with a report revealing that Kyle filed a lawsuit against Kim last year.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star, 57, took legal action against her 61-year-old sister in an attempt to have her removed from a Los Angeles condo, TMZ reported on Saturday.

Court documents obtained by the outlet reportedly show that Kyle initiated the lawsuit in January 2025.

The legal action aimed to evict Kim from a two-bedroom, three-bath, 1,633-square-foot condominium located in Encino.

Kyle alleges that Kim had been living in the condo for several years but had been asked to leave in late 2024.

As part of her legal filing, Kyle requested possession of the property and sought damages of $140 per day from Kim for every day she stayed beyond the agreed-upon departure date, starting in November 2024, per the outlet.

The Daily Mail has reached out to Kyle and Kim's representatives for comment. 

Kim and Kyle have had a tumultuous relationship for years, with frequent public disputes adding to their strained bond. 

The lawsuit for eviction came just months after reports surfaced that Kim had relapsed, prompting the family to take a 'tough love' stance in hopes of encouraging her to get back on track. 

Sources at the time claimed that Kim had struggled with addiction for years, and the family felt it was necessary to set firm boundaries.

In 2025, during the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills season 14 reunion, both Kyle and their eldest sister Kathy Hilton offered an update on Kim's situation. 

The sisters revealed that Kim had moved to Florida and was 'doing better' after what had been a challenging period. 

In December 2024, Kim reportedly underwent a mental health evaluation after an unusual call to the police. 

The Los Angeles Police Department responded to a report Kim made about someone taking her cat, only for it to be returned shortly after. 

Upon arriving at the scene, Kim allegedly went on an extended rant about her issues with her sister Kyle.

The officers on the scene then called in a mental health evaluation team after noticing her erratic behavior. 

According to TMZ, the evaluation team ultimately concluded that Kim did not meet the criteria for an involuntary hold, as she was not deemed a threat to herself or others.

At the time of the incident, Kyle was reportedly in Aspen, Colorado, spending the holidays with her ex, Mauricio Umansky, and their children. 

Paramedics were also called but quickly left when they determined that Kim did not require medical transport.

As for Kim’s complaint regarding her cat, the police took no further action and left the scene without incident.

This event came several months after a separate incident in which Kim was placed on a psychiatric hold. 

In September 2024, the LAPD had responded to reports of Kim being incoherent at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles, where she had refused to leave when asked. 

She was subsequently detained on a 5150 hold for a 72-hour psychiatric hospitalization due to a mental health crisis.

Later that same month, there was another incident at a home owned by Kyle again.

It was reported that Kim was involved in an altercation with her sister Kyle in Encino, where Kyle 'owns a home that Kim had recently been staying in.'

It was reported that Richards was involved in an altercation with her sister Kyle in Encino, where Kyle 'owns a home that Kim had recently been staying in.' 

Law enforcement sources said that Kyle claimed Kim was 'in deep trouble over her sobriety' and that their entire family was 'worried about her survival.'

It was reported at the time that the rest of Richards' family had cut off contact with her following her 'relapse' as they reportedly hope to drive her back to sobriety.

Her struggle with sobriety was previously documented during her time on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. 

In the first season of the reality show, which aired in 2010, Kyle accused her sister of being an alcoholic during a tense exchange. 

The following year, Kim entered rehab.
