The burlesque dancer was reportedly told to 'beware Jews' when she instructed her business partners to approach the landlord. He had allegedly failed to pay back a $5,000 (£3,000) deposit.
According to TMZ, Von Teese has filed a lawsuit claiming that she requested the deposit, and had given the property boss notice that she was moving out.
The suit claims that the star was told to "beware of Jews". The landlord reportedly added: "In your business no-one can do anything without them.
"Jews they have shucks (sic) the whole world dry and still more to come."
