Cash-strapped reality TV (former) stars Spencer Pratt and Heidi Montag are living in one of his mother's beach homes because they have serious money problems, Breaking Celebrity News has exclusively learned.
Breaking Celebrity News revealed how the couple made a mess of their $5 million Malibu rental home after they planted trees without permission and allowed their dogs to pee on the carpets, infuriating the property's owner.
But according to a source close to the couple, the real reason that they left the house was because they could no longer afford the $20,000-a-month rent.
"The truth is that they are cash-strapped right now and their only real form of income these days is from set-up paparazzi photographs," the insider said.
"But the U.S. magazines are not really that interested in them anymore and they are becoming increasingly difficult to deal with.
"A lot of the editors know that the recent split story was a complete sham and they realize that there readers can see through it all now too.
"Spencer thought the shaving off his beard stunt would make a lot of money but he kind of blew it by releasing footage of him shearing it on YouTube.
"Heidi believes that they should be getting paid a lot more money and she has become really demanding now too," the source said.
