A MAN who is being sued by the Mandarin Oriental hotel for the non-payment of a $350,000 bill is also being sued by his Yuen Long landlords for $75,000.
The latest Supreme Court writ against Gudmundur Vidar Fridriksson claims he owes $48,000 in rent and a further $27,224 for the use of telephone and electricity.
The landlords, Siu Ching-yuet and Siu Kai-tsuen, also want permission to evict Mr Fridriksson from their Fairview Park premises.
Mr Fridriksson rented the Yuen Long house from February 15, after leaving the Mandarin Oriental six days earlier without paying his $353,871 bill.
The hotel alleges the bill is for four months' worth of accommodation, meals, drinks and room service.
The hotel, which described Mr Fridriksson as a regular, is also claiming interest on its outstanding bill. Room rates per night at the hotel range from $1,950 for a standard room to $22,000 for the elegant Mandarin suite on the 24th floor.
