Colombian Goalkeeper Kevin Mier Faces Lawsuit Over Rental Property Dispute in Mexico
Colombian footballer Kevin Mier, currently recovering from a fracture sustained while playing in Liga MX that jeopardizes his potential participation in teh 2026 World Cup, is now embroiled in a legal dispute with his former landlord in Mexico City. Yolanda Muñiz Martínez has filed a lawsuit against the 25-year-old goalkeeper, seeking 270,000 pesos (approximately 55 million Colombian pesos) for alleged breach of lease adn property damage.
According to documents filed on october 9th (File 50042025), Mier allegedly ceased rent payments on the property he occupied for the past year and a half, and is accused of leaving the residence in a damaged and unclean condition. Muñiz Martínez claims the player has been avoiding her attempts to discuss the matter.
The complaint further alleges that Mier was accused of removing a microwave oven from the property, which was originally included in the inventory when the house was previously rented to Colombian player Kevin Castaño.
Muñiz Martínez stated to ESTO that Mier’s issues began after 15 pairs of tennis shoes were stolen from the house by his cleaning employee. She claims his partner then informed her they would no longer return to the property and would not fulfill the remaining rental obligations, including a one-month penalty clause. Mier reportedly agreed to forgo payment of this penalty.
Mier was reportedly notified of the lawsuit at his club headquarters on November 13th. He has acknowledged the complaint and is expected to issue a formal defence addressing the accusations. Muñiz Martínez has provided video evidence purportedly showing the condition of the house after Mier vacated the premises.
