The widow of developer and financier Brandon Miller is being sued by a New York City landlord for failing to pay rent on her luxury apartment following her husband’s suicide.
Mak Acquisitions is demanding socialite Candice Miller shell out $195,000 to cover rent on her 737 Park Ave home from April to August, court documents reviewed by DailyMail.com have revealed.
The mother of two moved out of the Upper East Side apartment in August, but her landlord claims she “refused to compensate them for services rendered.”
The rent for the posh apartment was $47,000 until April, before increasing to $49,000 starting in May. The unit features five bedrooms and seven and a half bathrooms in 4,382 square feet, according to Zillow.
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal troubles Brandon, 43, has left his family with. Court documents show he owed nearly $34 million and had just $8,000 in his bank account when he decided to kill himself.

A significant portion of this debt was tied to his Hamptons property at 25 Cobb Isle Road, which is now for sale for $15.5 million.
Candice, 42, filed a bail petition detailing four outstanding loans on the property, including a $2 million mortgage from Titan Capital, which also recently sued her for late payments.
In addition to the real estate debt, Brandon had a substantial unsecured loan of $11.3 million from BMO Bank. In addition, he owed more than $6 million to Donald Jaffe, a lender who had previously financed Miller and his father on several projects. Jaffe is still pursuing legal action to recover the outstanding balance.
Other creditors include American Express and Funding Club, a Brooklyn-based cash lender, to whom Brandon owed more than $300,000 and $266,000, respectively.
In a suicide note, the father explained that a last-minute business deal that was crucial had fallen through and he felt he had no way out.

He committed suicide by inhaling exhaust fumes while his wife Candice was on tour in Europe with their two daughters.
The troubled man waited until his family left town for a week-long luxury vacation before getting into his car and running the engine until it filled the garage with toxic gas.
A wealthy friend arranged for a shaken Candice and her two daughters to fly back to the U.S. on a private jet.
They arrived in time to bid him farewell before he was taken off life support at Stony Brook Southampton Hospital and pronounced dead on July 3, according to an informed source.
Candice moved with her daughters to Miami Beach shortly after her husband’s suicide in July and now lives in a multi-million dollar condominium owned by a member of the von Fürstenberg family.
Last year, a trust linked to Alexander von Fürstenberg paid $10 million for the luxurious three-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bathroom unit where Miller now lives.

Diane von Fürstenberg’s net worth is said to be around $300 million, much of which comes from her famous eponymous fashion brand.
Decades after divorcing her first husband, who came from a German princely family, von Fürstenberg married media mogul Barry Diller.
The couple, who married in 2001, purchased a beachfront property, also in Miami Beach, for an exorbitant sum of $45 million in April.
It is unclear what relationship, if any, exists between Miller and the extremely wealthy couple.
Miller is known to be friends with Alexander von Fürstenberg’s wife, Alison, also known as model Ali Kay.
