An idyllic California town, a celebrity landlord, and a rental from hell

• Sonaar Luthra and Sarah Szalavitz left Los Angeles for a rental in La Quinta, California, last March.
• The property is owned by Frank Ferrer, who's been the drummer for Guns N' Roses since 2006.
• The couple said issues from no heat to a bad leak made life miserable. Now, they want to be reimbursed — and some peace.

In 2021, Sonaar Luthra and Sarah Szalavitz decided to leave Los Angeles. 

The couple found a rental home online for $4,000 a month in La Quinta, California, a palm-tree-dotted hamlet about 2½ hours away, nestled between the resort-haven Palm Springs and festival-famous Coachella.
