Washington, Dec 23 : Courtney Love has slammed her "vicious" landlord for filing a lawsuit to evict the singer from her New York home, insisting that the legal action is "weird as heck".

The 47-year-old rocker moved into the Manhattan townhouse earlier this year but the building's owner Donna Lyon has launched a court battle to evict the star, claiming she owes more than 50,000 dollars in rent.

Lyon has also complained about the singer re-decorating the property without permission, but Love insists she's only taking advantage of a clause in their contract, which allows her to make changes to the interior design.

"I moved into this home only on the condition that I could paint it and when I leave, I'd restore it to exactly what it was. Since I darkened the door she (the owner) has been vicious to me and my staff," Contactmuisc quoted the singer as writing on a blog post on xoJane. com.

"Having a landlady tell you your Prelle, 2,000 dollar-a-yard fabric... is `destructive' is totally weird. My taste is artful and femme, but it's excellent.

"I'm 47, have bought and sold 14 houses... and love doing them nicely and tripling the price; it's just never been a question, so this whole experience is weird as heck," she wrote.

Love's current lease on the townhouse is due to expire on Feb 15, while a court hearing in the case has been postponed until Jan 13. (ANI)
