Kim Richards faces stunning eviction from her sister Kyle Richards following court docs revealed today. The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills siblings reached a legal breaking point when Kyle sued Kim in January 2025. Explosive court filings expose an escalating family conflict that turned financial.
🔥 Quick Facts
- Lawsuit Filed: January 2025 by Kyle Richards, age 57, against Kim Richards, age 61
- Property Details: 2-bedroom, 3-bath Encino condo, 1,633 square feet that Kim allegedly lived in for years
- Daily Damages: Kyle demanded $140 per day starting November 2024 for every day Kim overstayed
- Default Judgment: March 2025 when Kim never responded, ordering her to surrender the property immediately
Court Docs Reveal Sudden Eviction Escalation
Kyle Richards obtained court documents showing the dramatic legal action unveiled today. TMZ first obtained the filing after Kim allegedly refused to vacate the Los Angeles condo she called home.
Kyle claimed her older sister had occupied the property for multiple years without remuneration. She formally requested Kim vacate in late 2024. When negotiations failed, Kyle took legal action, citing both property recovery and unpaid occupancy damages.

How Kim Initially Failed to Respond to the Lawsuit
Kim apparently never answered the lawsuit filed in January 2025, leading to automatic legal consequences. A default judgment entered in March 2025 required Kim to surrender possession immediately, without hearing her defense.
This default ruling meant Kyle prevailed without courtroom testimony or evidence presentation. Court docs obtained by TMZ confirm Kim suffered the judgment silently, never filing a response or challenging Kyle’s claims formally.
Timeline Following the Default Judgment Entry
| Event | Date |
| Kyle Files Eviction Lawsuit | January 2025 |
| Default Judgment Entered | March 2025 |
| Sheriff Attempts Service | June 2025 |
| Court Docs Released | April 11, 2026 |
June 2025 court records show the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Office attempted service of the judgment on Kim. However, authorities reportedly found Kim had already vacated the Encino property beforehand, preventing formal service completion.
“During the Season 14 RHOBH reunion in mid-2025, Kyle and Kathy Hilton provided an update on Kim. They said their sister was living in Florida and ‘doing better’ now.”

Family Tensions Over Kim’s Recent Struggles
The lawsuit originated from escalating family conflict tied to Kim’s 2024 substance abuse relapse. Sources told TMZ that Kim struggled significantly, leading her family to adopt a ‘tough love’ approach until recovery improved.
Kim was placed on a 72-hour psychiatric hold in late 2024 after the relapse incident. Kyle and sister Kathy Hilton both publicly acknowledged Kim was going through a tough time. Yet by mid-2025 reunion taping, both sisters reported Kim was making progress while residing in Florida.
Will This Lawsuit Change Kim and Kyle’s Future Relationship?
The lawsuit revelation raises critical questions about the sisters’ dynamic moving forward. Kyle and Kim previously starred together on Real Housewives of Beverly Hills for five seasons from 2010 to 2015.
Kyle remains the longest-serving original cast member, while Kim stepped back to part-time guest status years ago. Court documents now expose family financial disputes that may complicate their professional relationship and personal bond permanently.
