FALLING FROM HIS IVORY PENTHOUSE: Muliti-Millionaire Cory Mills Skips Out on Over $85,000 in Rent for His D.C. Penthouse

Earlier this week, new reporting revealed that Cory Mills is being sued by his landlord for his failure to pay over $85,000 in missed rent for his $20,000 a month luxury penthouse in Washington.

While Mills has been living lavishly in D.C., he recently voted to cut the very programs his own constituents rely on. In his district alone, over 51,000 people are at risk of losing their health care and more than 30,000 households rely on SNAP for food assistance.

Take a look at what Floridians are reading about Cory Mills this week…

The Daytona Beach News Journal: Landlord: U.S. Rep. Cory Mills of Florida faces eviction, owes $85,000
July 15, 2025

  • Mills, a Republican who has represented southern Volusia and Seminole counties in Congress for two terms, got behind in his payments within the first two months of leasing the home in 2023, and now owes more than $85,000…
  • “You can avoid legal action by paying the balance of rent or completing your move-out and returning keys by the termination date,” read a letter posted on the congressman’s door on Jan. 27, court records show.
  • Less than a month later, on Feb. 19, Metropolitan Police in Washington questioned Mills at the same penthouse, where they had been called about a simple assault allegation that occurred at a home he shared with a woman who is not his wife.
  • Mills is also facing a House Ethics Committee investigation into allegations that he benefited from contracts with the federal government while a congressman.
  • Documents filed by the committee suggest Mills omitted or misrepresented information in his financial disclosure statements and accepted excessive contributions in the form of personal loans and contributions that may not have come from his personal funds. Mills also obtained in-kind contributions of credit “not extended in the ordinary course of business,” the ethics records state.
  • The Office of Congressional Ethics reported Mills was not cooperative with its investigation last fall. The House Ethics Committee is continuing its review of the matter.

The Daily Beast: MAGA Rep Makes Bonkers Claim About Why He Missed $80K in Rent on Luxury Penthouse 
July 15, 2025

  • The advert for the luxury sky-high Washington D.C. apartment rented by Congressman Cory Mills boasts: “EXPERIENCE PRIVACY LIKE NEVER BEFORE… Residences in the Penthouse levels offer access through private elevators for discrete comings and goings.”
  • Which may have proved handy for MAGA firebrand Rep. Cory Mills, who has avoided his landlord while racking up $80,009 in missed payments—and now faces eviction.
  • And in May, five Iraq-war comrades came forward to say they don’t recall the heroics behind Mills’ 2003 Bronze Star. The congressman retorted that commanders, not soldiers, write award citations.

Florida Politics: Landlord sues Cory Mills over missing rent payments on Washington apartment 
July 15, 2025

  • His rent payments run $20K per month, and a landlord said he didn’t pay for March through July.
  • Court records show a landlord has filed papers to evict U.S. Rep. Cory Mills from his Washington apartment.
  • It’s the same address where a woman, Sarah Raviani, reported Mills for assault earlier this year. She later said the incident was a misunderstanding. Police reports showed her and Mills living together.
  • Notably, the eviction papers against Mills were filed days before Raviani deleted her own social media accounts.
