Spears to be sued over wrecked apartment

An estate agent who leased a $1.5 million (£750,000) apartment to Britney Spears has threatened to sue her after she wrecked it "beyond repair".

Real estate agent Amir E. Zagross rented the property in Marina Del Rey, California to the singer and her family in August 2006, but he claims he could not rent it out again after they had left.

Zagross hold Life & Style magazine: "I met Britney at the condo myself with her mother, brother, sons and her bodyguards. They assured me they were immaculate, nice people who would take care of the property. But the damage was significant."

He added: "They destroyed it. We couldn't re-rent the condo because of the state it was in."

A source claimed the Spears family had trashed the walls, floors, doors, electrical outlets, balcony and the air conditioning unit.
