  "account": "Anthony Thomas Price, an American man, is facing two lawsuits involving rental disputes. In the first case, Price is being sued by Angela Chan Wan Qi, a 46-year-old corporate lawyer, for defaulting on rent for nearly a year while living in her Kembangan home with his family. Chan alleges that Price used a shell company, Bundleluxe, to avoid paying rent of S$8,500 per month for a one-year lease from January 2024 to December 2024. Price countersued, claiming that the home had over 50 defects and that Chan failed to maintain the property, causing him to miss work and suffer health issues. He sought S$20,000 in damages for lost wages and emotional distress. The case is currently in the pre-trial conference stage. In the second case, Chan sued Price for unpaid rent and claimed that he used shell companies to shield himself from personal liability. She is seeking S$76,500 in unpaid rent, interest, and double the rent for the extra time they lived in the property. Price denied the breach of contract allegations and sought S$20,000 in lost working hours and emotional distress damages. Both parties are also seeking damages for emotional distress.",
