‘I’m not paying’: Kyle sued over $240k reno bill
Builders Alter Build Co have taken broadcaster Kyle Sandilands to civil court, claiming he failed to pay $240,000 for bathroom, kitchen and laundry works at his Glenorie home in Sydney's north-west. The company says the payments were due under a signed building contract. Sandilands says the project went well over the $1 million budget he set, rising to about $1.6 million, and that he wants evidence of approvals before paying more. He says he is not against the builders and will pay if he is in the wrong. The matter is due back in court on October 23.
