\n\tStevie Wonder<\/a>\u2018s reported one-time fianc\u00e9e is pushing back against his attempts to boot her from the\u00a0Hollywood Hills home<\/a> she\u2019s been living in rent-free since 1988.<\/p>\n \n\tCarmen Efferson filed a response to Wonder after his legal team sued her last month in a Los Angeles superior court and demanded she move out of Wonder\u2019s three-bedroom home. In the Tuesday filing obtained by Rolling Stone<\/em>, Efferson is accusing Wonder of breach of warranty of habitability \u2014 claiming he failed to maintain the property in conditions fit for human living. Among the complaints made in the filing, Efferson has alleged the home has damp or leaking ceiling\/walls; holes in the walls\/floor\/carpet; damaged window screens and plumbing; dampness\/mold, and more. <\/p>\n \n\tEfferson has asked a judge to order Wonder to pay for her attorney fees, make repairs to the home, and reduce the monthly rent to a \u201creasonable rental value\u201d until the conditions are corrected. In the filing, Efferson also claims that she \u201chas paid rent and\/or provided other nonmonetary consideration or services in exchange for the right to occupy the premises.\u201d Elsewhere, she disputes the title of the property and claims Wonder is \u201cnot the owner of the subject premises and therefore lacks standing\u201d to evict her.<\/p>\n \n\tA lawyer for Wonder did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Wednesday.<\/p>\n \n\tIn Wonder\u2019s complaint filed Oct. 22, Efferson and the singer allegedly reached an oral agreement allowing her to live their rent-free for nearly 40 years. However, when it came time to access the house as part of Wonder\u2019s property insurance renewal, representatives for the singer attempted to enter the home three times in July for inspection. Efferson refused to allow them to enter the property, and instead shot an email to Wonder\u2019s lawyer David Huff saying \u201cfuck the fuck off,\u201d according to exhibits in the lawsuit obtained by\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em>.<\/p>\n
