The Breaking Point, How It All Fell Apart
Kenya Moore Hair Spa opened in 2024 with promise and star power. But just months later, landlord Northland Chamblee LLC filed an eviction lawsuit in April 2025. The landlord claimed Moore stopped paying rent by December 2024, demanding $30,000 in back rent. Moore had a completely different story about what went wrong.
Moore says the real culprit was the landlord’s broken promises. She claims Northland Chamblee never made the agreed improvements to the commercial space. Moore allegedly invested $300,000 plus to build the salon from what she calls a “white box” property. When reimbursements never came, tensions exploded.

The Stunning $88K Judgment That Changed Everything
By February 2026, a Georgia judge sided with the landlord. Moore’s company, Moore Vision Media, was ordered to pay nearly $88,000 in unpaid rent and utilities. The judge didn’t buy Moore’s defense about reimbursements. The ruling came down in two payments: $43,988 due by late February and another $43,988.67 by late March.
Moore missed both court deadlines, court documents confirmed. The judge also ordered the RHOA star to keep paying $5,500 monthly in rent unless she vacated. She chose to vacate. Just days ago, on April 24, 2026, furniture and equipment appeared on the sidewalk outside the salon.

Kenya’s Counterattack, Claiming Nearly $80K in Unpaid Improvements
Moore is doubling down on her claims that the landlord owes her. She states her company is in an active lawsuit against Northland Chamblee LLC. Moore says the landlord failed to pay nearly $80,000 in tenant improvement allowance she was contractually owed.
“I have spent the last several weeks moving out of my salon as a result of my ongoing legal battle with the landlord who has failed to reimburse me nearly $80K of improvement funds I am rightfully owed. My only recourse was to withhold rent and file a countersuit. I already have my outfit laid out for court chile!”
