Rogerio Lam back in court amid legal saga
Rogerio Lam Sou-fung, the son of a Hang Seng Bank founder Lam Bing-yam, is back in court – this time being sued by Kwong Wan Realty over alleged unpaid rent for his luxury Mid-Levels flat.
The son of a Hang Seng Bank founder is beset by legal woes for the sixth time in a year.
Rogerio Lam Sou-fung, son of the late Lam Bing-yam, is being sued by Kwong Wan Realty for HK$177,335, including the rent of his luxury Mid-Levels flat.
In the Court of First Instance writ the company, a subsidiary of developer Hysan, said Lam had signed a tenancy agreement on June 15, 2011 to rent the third-floor flat at Bamboo Grove for two years for HK$70,000 a month and two parking spaces at the estate for HK$2,000 a month.
But he has not paid the rent and other charges, including management fees and rates, since November last year, and the fees for the parking spaces since October, the writ says. It also says Lam often made late rent payments.
The company is also seeking his eviction from the flat.
This is the latest in a string of legal proceedings involving Lam. In October last year, the company sued him for rent and sought his eviction from another, HK$99,000-a-month, flat at Bamboo Grove.
