Bruce Lehrmann’s landlord EXPLODES as she learns he has been throwing wild parties at her luxurious $4.1million house – and she’s got bad news for his roommate too

Bruce Lehrmann’s landlord was ‘disgusted’ to learn he was staying at her home and has ordered both he and his housemate get out.

Daily Mail Australia revealed this week that Lehrmann had shacked up with a friend, Paul Farrell, 48, at a $4.1million North Sydney home.

Wild parties were held at the property over three days with a bevy of young women seen coming and going, often with alcohol.

But Mr Lehrmann was told to leave on Thursday evening and his landlord – who asked not to be named – said his roommate Mr Farrell was being shown the door as well. 

‘I wasn’t aware at all,’ she told Daily Mail Australia on Friday afternoon. ‘I am disgusted. Bruce is gone and Paul will be leaving too’.

The landlord said she only found out Lehrmann was living there after the Mail published photos of Lehrmann and groups of women coming and going.

She said her disgust was at the partying at the home – which has upset neighbours – and the revelation that Mr Lehrmann had been staying there without her knowledge.

In what is understood to be a coincidence, the landlord once worked for Network Seven. 

Mr Farrell, 48, offered Mr Lehrmann a place to stay when his year-long deal with Channel Seven for a $2,000-a-week property in Sydney‘s northern beaches ended.

Mr Farrell told Daily Mail Australia on Thursday he thought he was just ‘helping out a mate’ when he offered his spare room at his North Sydney rental to Mr Lehrmann. 

‘I’m renting this place and had a spare room … but it’s basically ruined my life with all the photographers and journalists hanging around.’ 

On Friday, a resident at Mr Lehrmann’s new home – who declined to give his name – confirmed that the former political staffer was gone. 

‘He was told to vacate and he did so last night – that’s all I know,’ the man said. ‘I don’t know where he’s staying now’. 

Daily Mail Australia understands that Mr Lehrmann is now couchsurfing and last night shacked up at the home of a female Sydney socialite, elsewhere in the city. 

Mr Lehrmann’s car was spotted elsewhere in the city with all his worldly possessions in the back seat.

That included piles of towels, Woolworths freezer bags and Ritz crackers.

Neighbours told Daily Mail Australia this week how they were deeply frustrated with the parties that have occurred at the North Sydney home in the past three weeks.

On Thursday alone, a male friend of Mr Lehrmann’s arrived with a box of alcohol and mates made two trips to the bottleshop.

Neighbours claimed Mr Lehrmann’s companions had in recent weeks been ‘shrieking’ the lyrics to Tina Turner songs, swearing at all hours, and talking outside into the early hours of the morning.

‘It’s not loud music, it’s mostly carry-on with the girls shrieking and screaming along to Tina Turner,’ one neighbour said.

‘They’re constantly swearing, it’s ‘F-this’ and ‘F-that’.’

Another neighbour accused guests of parking on the footpath and across driveways, which they said ‘is selfish for parents pushing prams’.

‘It’s quite intrusive because they already have a double car garage to park in,’ they said.

Mr Lehrmann kicked off a week of partying on Tuesday evening when he was spotted in a burgundy blazer, flanked by two glammed-up women, outside the home – just moments after a new judgement date in his blockbuster defamation case was set.

The trio charged through the rain and jumped into the back of an Uber, with one holding a can of alcohol.

The revelry continued on Wednesday when when another group of women entered the same property – among them, a blonde who previously appeared barefoot with a vape on the balcony of his old place in Balgowlah.

On Wednesday, she wore a black dress with a thigh-high split and black stiletto heels, while juggling car keys, a phone, a bottle of Hendrick’s gin and half-drunk bottle of whisky.

And on Thursday, shortly after midday, yet another crowd shuffled into the home carrying boxes of alcohol.

Daily Mail Australia understands most of the visitors on Thursday were Mr Farrell’s friends and that despite the festivities, the property has never received a noise complaint.

Mr Lehrmann has been contacted for comment.

In just four days’ time, Federal Court Justice Michael Lee will hand down his judgement in Mr Lehrmann’s defamation case against Network Ten and Lisa Wilkinson. 

He launched defamation proceedings over an episode of The Project in February 2021, during which Brittany Higgins went public with her rape allegations for the first time in an interview with Wilkinson.

Ms Higgins alleged Mr Lehrmann raped her in Parliament House in March 2019, when they were both staffers working for the Liberal Party.

He was not named in the broadcast but claimed friends and colleagues were able to identify him as the alleged rapist. He has always maintained his innocence.

The month-long trial was heard in December. Judgement is set for 10.15am on Monday.
