Tarek El Moussa is facing new criticism over his North Hollywood condo project.
The controversy began with a realtor’s plan to demolish a bungalow complex to make way for a luxury development. A tenant living on the site that would become the city has called out the HGTV star for “deceptive” statements about the project.
Tarek El Moussa Condo Project In Hot Water
Clare Letmon, a current resident of a bungalow slated for demolition in the controversial project, shared her perspective with PEOPLE. As an organizer also on Hartsook Street, he explained the impact of this situation on his family and neighbours.
Responding to El Moussa’s claim that he was “being dragged for false accusations and misconceptions,” Letmon revealed to the publication, “He basically called us liars.”
According to him, direct communication with the reality TV star has not happened since July 14. He also pointed out that they have repeatedly requested personal meetings with those affected, including his neighbor Cathy, a long-term resident of forty years.

The disgruntled tenant claimed that “Brother Vs. Brother” the judge blocked the Hartsook Tenants Association on social media and stopped responding to their emails after July 14th.
He also emphasized that the news of their home being demolished and the urgent need to plan relocation before the $50 million project launches in 2024 is “very triggering for tenants.”
Letmon acknowledged that although El Moussa did not personally distribute eviction notices to his neighbors, the current owner of the property did so to pave the way for his efforts.
In response to concerns raised by Hartsook’s tenants, the “Entertainment Tonight” guest co-host released a statement via his Instagram page last week. In the long note, he wrote in part:
“Please let me explain something about the new project. I am one of the partners of NoHo 138 who is working to purchase the Hartsook property in North Hollywood for redevelopment. Although I am being dragged for false accusations and misconceptions, my intention is to do good, and I hope we can focus on the positive and the facts.”
The “Rock the Block” judge explained, “The notice to the tenant was served by the current owner, not by me or the partners of NoHo 138.” He also explained that the city of Los Angeles mandated the construction of a new structure on the premises, causing the need to remove the existing one under the relevant legal code.

El Moussa emphasized their intention to work with tenants, improve neighborhoods and build new apartment complexes that include low-income units and contribute to city programs.
The star of “Flip or Flop” assures that the process is carried out within the limits of the law, with respect to existing tenants. In conclusion, he expressed his passion to be “a great addition and neighbor to the community.”
‘Tarek’s Flip Side’ Host and Wife Continue Filming Their Show Amid Building Controversy
The couple was all smiles as they began filming the second season of their HGTV series, “The Flipping El Moussas.” This comes as controversy swirls around rent-controlled housing in North Hollywood. While standing on the side of the road outside a residence in Cerritos, California, with her lover by her side, the blonde beauty was seen exchanging fists with her co-worker.
Undeterred by the ongoing feud, the couple managed to keep their spirits high while filming their HGTV show. The “Selling Sunset” star radiated positivity as she arrived on set in stylish ripped jeans, a blue tank top and sneakers.
She accessorized with a tote bag, drink bottle and a large white Stanley Cup water bottle. Meanwhile, her husband sported a signature hat and sunglasses completing his style in a fitted black shirt, trousers and checkered shoes.
In what he has dubbed his “most significant reversal,” he is set to replace a dilapidated bungalow on Hartsook Street, Los Angeles, with an impressive 138-unit apartment complex with a rooftop pool. With a projected profit of $26 million, the venture includes investment from panelist “Face the Truth’s” firm, TEM Capital, his wife’s company HEM Capital, and a collaboration of Pyramid Development Group and WJK Development Co.
