It was a $5.3 million Malibu mansion just across the Pacific Coast Highway from La Costa Beach.
A source exclusively told DailyMail.com at the time: ‘Michael had been living at the house since last year, but the lease was in another person’s name.’
The house was leased out by another person and several thousand dollars were owed in back rent, DailyMail.com has learned.

The owner who lives a few miles away from the house drove over and found Madsen out on the front porch.

Madsen has had a terrible start to 2022.
His arrest came just a month after his son, US Army Sgt. Hudson Madsen shot himself dead on the Hawaiian island of Oahu, where he was stationed with the 25th Infantry Division. Hudson was an Afghan war vet.
Hudson’s death came a week after his wife Carlie underwent surgery to remove a tumor from her breast.
‘I am in shock as my son, whom I just spoke with a few days ago, said he was happy – my last text from him was “I love you dad,”‘ he told the Los Angeles Times.
‘I didn’t see any signs of depression. It’s so tragic and sad. I’m just trying to make sense of everything and understand what happened.’
Madsen said his son’s marriage was ‘going strong’ and he had recently completed his first tour in the U.S. Army.

Hudson Madsen’s shot himself to death a week after wife Carlie had a tumor removed from her breast. She called him ‘so patient throughout this whole process’
‘He had typical life challenges that people have with finances, but he wanted a family. He was looking towards his future, so its mind-blowing. I just can’t grasp what happened.’
Madsen has requested a full military investigation into his son’s death. The actor thinks ‘the officers and rank and file were shaming’ Hudson for wanting therapy. He believes this stopped him from seeking help for mental health issues he had been keeping to himself.
In 2019, the actor was axed from a $100,000 role in movie Confessions of a Serial Killer after crashing his Land Rover into a pole and subsequently being arrested for DUI. He was later sentenced to four days in jail.
In 2012 he was also arrested for DUI after driving erratically but struck a plea deal that involved attending AA meetings in lieu of more severe punishment.
However, after Madsen failed to attend his court ordered Alcoholics Anonymous meetings his probation was revoked.
