Mischa Barton’s landlord has sued the actress in an effort to collect three months’ back rent on her $7,000-a-month New York City apartment, the Associated Press reports.

According to the lawsuit, Barton rented the apartment in the Tribeca neighborhood beginning in September, when she was starring in the CW’s "The Beautiful Life," which turned out to be short-lived.

Her representatives didn’t immediately comment.
