SOUTHERN Charm’s Kathryn Dennis has been threatened with eviction from her new luxury apartment for the third time this year after losing custody of her two children.
Kathryn, 31, was hit with two Rule to Vacate notices this year for her WestEdge apartment she once shared with ex-boyfriend Chleb Ravenell.
The U.S. Sun can exclusively reveal Kathryn was served with a Rule to Vacate notice for “non-payment of rent” on November 17, 2022 by her new complex, East Bay Apartments.
She has yet to respond to the complaint, according to Charleston, South Carolina court records.
PAST EVICTION THREATS
This is the third time this year Kathryn has faced eviction.
A clerk for Charleston County previously told The U.S. Sun Mt Pleasant Investments LLC, which owns her previous complex, filed a Rule to Vacate notice on March 16 after missing her February and March payments this year of $4,626 each, totaling $9,252.
It was later settled, but a second Rule to Vacate notice was filed on May 17.
The case was settled on June 2.
LUXURY LIVING
As for her current complex, apartments range from $1,640 a month for a studio and one bathroom, to $2,725 for a two-bedroom, two-bathroom apartment.
A townhouse featuring three bedrooms and three bathrooms can cost up to $6,500 a month.
A description on the website reads: “Nestled in a garden deep in the heart of Charleston you’ll find an intimate enclave full of modern luxuries and amenities. With touches of history infused with modern details, it is truly where timeless and modern meet.”
Amenities include a rooftop terrace, fitness center, parking garage and more.
FINANCIAL WOES
The Southern Charm star has been in a years-long custody battle with her ex-boyfriend Thomas Ravenel over their two children Kensie, eight, and Saint, six.
She faced financial issues there as well, as Kathryn's former attorneys, Susan Rawls Strom and Pete Currence, abruptly resigned from her custody case after she also failed to pay them.
A legal motion filed with the South Carolina court and obtained by AllAboutTheTea.com read that Kathryn "can no longer communicate, and can not agree on matters of importance to the case, and the attorney-client relationship is irretrievably impaired."
A source also claimed to the outlet that the reality star "doesn't pay regularly or timely for their services."
CUSTODY WAR
The U.S. Sun exclusively broke Thomas, 60, won full custody of the kids in February 2021 after accusing Kathryn of drug abuse and being an unfit mother.
As The U.S. Sun previously reported, Thomas filed for sole custody of the kids and requested Kathryn have supervised visitation on October 23, 2020.
According to South Carolina court records, Thomas claimed a mutual friend told him about a recent trip he took to North Carolina with Kathryn, Chleb, Kensie, Saint and others.
Thomas claimed the friend said: “He informed me that he witnessed a lot of cocaine use during this trip and that Kathryn had left cocaine within grasp of the children, which he thought was dangerous.”
Kathryn alleged in her court response: “I do not use cocaine so naturally I have not left any out for our children to access.”
Thomas continued that Kathryn has failed to get the children to school on time.
Kathryn admitted in her filing that her daughter has been late to school four times this year and three of those tardies were during her visitation period.
He said the children come to him from their mother's home allegedly “filthy and unkempt," according to the court documents.
He claimed: “When the children are picked up after their week with Kathryn, they are filthy, their hair is matted, they smell and they are unusually tired and irritable.
“During the summer they were routinely returned without shoes. Saint is regularly returned wearing clothes that are so small on him, they leave marks on his skin.”
Kathryn responded to the claim: “This is untrue. My children are always well dressed and clean when in my care and I am often complimented on how cute they look.”
Thomas went on to claim that he hired a man to conduct surveillance on her, as he witnessed the Southern Charm star leaving the children home alone unsupervised “on multiple occasions,” noting one time in July at 1:48am, in August at 3:17am and others, according to court papers.
Thomas wrote in the court papers of one alleged instance: “During the time Kathryn was gone, Kensie and Saint are seen alone in front of the house. THIS IS TERRIFYING.”
Kathryn responded in her court filing that it is “untrue” she left the children in the home alone.
He also claimed she was “broke,” as she only had $11 in her bank account.
Thomas said he found a private school in Aiken, South Carolina willing to take both students beginning with the 2021-2022 academic school year.
Thomas ultimately won full custody, as Kathryn has supervised visitation every other weekend.
KENSIE & SAINT'S NEW LIFE
The former Bravo star moved the children out of Charleston and to an estate in Aiken, South Carolina.
Thomas purchased the stunning abode for $1,800,000 in May 2020.
The U.S. Sun reported there has been a “marked improvement” since the children have been with Thomas full-time.
A source previously told The U.S. Sun: “In Kensie's latest report card, her teacher wrote that ‘Kensie is starting to SOAR academically. Her reading is taking off and she rarely needs assistance in math.’"
As for Saint, the insider said: “The school administrator remarked on Saint's recent stark behavioral improvement.”
