RHOBH alum Kim Richards lives “rent-free” in a humble Los Angeles apartment owned by her sister Kyle, The Sun can reveal.<\/p>\n

Earlier this week, The Sun reported that the troubled former\u00a0Bravo\u00a0star was living in the modest home as she\u00a0owes nearly $100,000 in unpaid taxes\u00a0to the State Of California.<\/p>\n

Now, a source has exclusively revealed to The Sun that\u00a0Kyle, 52, is \u201ccompletely paying\u201d for the home so her older sister can live there \u201crent-free\u201d – as she has for the past six years.<\/p>\n

Documents obtained by The Sun show that Kyle did in fact purchase the Encino apartment back in September 2015 – one month after Kim\u2019s second arrest of that year.<\/p>\n

Kyle shelled out $520,000 for the two-bedroom, 1,600-square-foot pad, real estate records show.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a far cry from the\u00a0RHOBH\u00a0star and husband\u00a0Mauricio Umansky\u2019s\u00a0$8M LA mansion\u00a0that features eight fireplaces and a home theater.<\/p>\n

Mauricio and Kyle famously own the most expensive house in Encino – a suburb of\u00a0Los Angeles\u00a0– where Kim\u2019s apartment also is located.<\/p>\n

However, Kim can relax at her apartment complex as it boasts a shared pool, jacuzzi and is gated for extra privacy.<\/p>\n

Kim and Kyle’s reps did not respond to The Sun’s request for comment.<\/p>\n

The same year Kyle bought the apartment,\u00a0Kim, 56, was arrested twice and was \u201chomeless\u201d for a brief time following a rehab stint,\u00a0The Daily Mail\u00a0reported at the time.<\/p>\n

In April 2015,\u00a0the actress\u00a0was arrested\u00a0and later charged with trespassing, public intoxication, resisting an officer and battery on a police officer at the legendary Beverly Hills Hotel.<\/p>\n

She spent the night in a\u00a0Los Angeles\u00a0jail but was released the next morning on a $20,000 bond.<\/p>\n

Just a few months after her Beverly Hills Hotel altercation, Kim was arrested once again in August 2015 for shoplifting at a Los Angeles Target store.<\/p>\n

She was brought in and booked at a LA jail but released the following morning on a $5,000 bond.<\/p>\n

According to\u00a0TMZ\u00a0– which obtained pictures of Kim\u2019s stolen merchandise – she grabbed reusable bags and began \u201cloading them up\u201d with items from the dollar section.<\/p>\n

Among the products that she took were art supplies, makeup and children\u2019s toys, animal crackers and dozens of other items – which the outlet claimed totaled over $600.<\/p>\n

Following her\u00a0back-to-back arrests, she was fired by Bravo as a\u00a0full-time cast member\u00a0and her stream of revenue immediately halted.<\/p>\n

However, her financial issues did not end there as she has faced multiple lawsuits in the years since.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Kim was ordered to pay $266,000 for a separate attack that occurred in 2015 with her dog, Kingsley.<\/p>\n

Court documents first obtained by The Blast show Kim\u2019s former neighbor, Kelly Crossley, was awarded $266,092.39 for damages and $865\u00a0for other additional costs after she claimed she was also bit by the pit bull.<\/p>\n
