Balotelli Vs. His Landlord

Madcap footballer Mario Balotelli has been banned from returning to his ­£3million mansion ... by his landlord who wants compensation for a trail of damage.

The volatile Manchester City striker is still living in a ­city-centre hotel more than three months after a firework was let off in a bathroom at his £2,000-a-week rented Cheshire house.

And the Italian, 21, is now in a stand-off with the landlord, who won’t let him back in until he settles a ­damages bill running to tens of ­thousands of pounds.

The sum includes fire ­damage and the ­wrecking of expensive ­dining room chairs.

But ­Balotelli – paid £100,000 a week – is ­disputing the level of the bill and is refusing to pay up. The landlord has began legal ­proceedings to recover money from the Premiership ace, serving him with a formal notice under the 1925 Law of Property Act.

Eccentric Balotelli had only been in the house in the ­footballers’ enclave of Mottram St Andrew for a month when the blaze caused by the firework forced him to call the fire brigade on the eve of his team’s game against rivals ­Manchester United last October. He insists the firework was let off by a friend.

A Manchester City spokesman said: “Mario feels that he is ­being ripped off. The club is aware of the matter and we are backing Mario fully in this.” Before moving to the mansion, the player got a police caution for setting off £1,500-worth of ­fireworks in a flat he ­rented.
