Tom Sandovalis responding to his ex-girlfriendAriana Madix’s lawsuitthat requested the pair sell the L.A. home they still share.
According to the filing, Sandoval also claims that Madix, 38, has “failed to mitigate whatever damages” she claims to have suffered and that she did not act “reasonably and in good faith” when filing the lawsuit against him.
If partition of the home is granted, Sandoval argues that he should “receive an accounting and compensatory adjustments” for the repairs and improvements he made to the home, including changes “that enhance the value,” per the document.

According to the documents, the reality star was hoping to avoid a “division in kind” that could result in both of them retaining ownership of the property as one party could then potentially sell their portion to a third party.
“We looked at fixer-uppersbut we also looked at [turnkey] places and given the timing of when we moved and how busy [we are] . . . I am so glad that we chose where we chose and we didn’t have to do anything other than the fun stuff,” Madix told PEOPLE in 2021 of their house-hunting experience.
“We would have been screwed, honestly. I’m thrilled at how we chose to do things and everything really worked out for the best,” she added.
