The landlord is likely framing this as a simple market correction or seasonal dip, hoping to portray the vacancy as unrelated to the high-profile criminal investigation haunting the property.
Insiders whisper that potential renters are spooked by the 'chainsaw and pool' narrative, with social media users joking that the only thing more vacant than the lease is the tenant pool willing to live next to a dismemberment scene.
The rent dropped from an original $23,950 to $21,500, and now to $18,950 (a total $5,000 cut). Police raided the home in September 2025, finding chainsaws and blood stains. Celeste Rivas Hernandez's remains were found in D4vd's Tesla trunk in 2025.
Real estate markets have rules, but they don't account for alleged murder scenes. If you're renting a house where a 14-year-old vanished and chainsaws were found, you're not just fighting for tenants—you're fighting for survival against the power of gossip.
The Hollywood Hills property linked to the sensational murder case of singer D4vd is experiencing a different kind of horror: total vacancy. Despite being a four-bedroom, 4.5-bathroom luxury pad, the home remains stubbornly empty, forcing the landlord to slash the asking rent for the second time. Originally listed at a staggering $23,950 per month, the price was first reduced to $21,500, and as of November 6, 2026, it has dropped again to $18,950.
That is a $5,000 monthly discount, yet the market response has been deafening silence. It seems no one is dying to move into a place that was allegedly the scene of a bloody murder, a pun that has become all too literal for the local real estate agents trying to close a deal. The stigma attached to the address is not just speculation; it is built on hard evidence that made national headlines.
As TMZ previously reported, police raided the home in September 2025, shortly after the dismembered remains of 14-year-old Celeste Rivas Hernandez were discovered in the trunk of D4vd’s Tesla. The singer moved out days after the discovery, leaving the property to face the fallout. During the search, investigators reportedly found chainsaws, potential blood stains, and a cut-up inflatable pool—evidence that was later presented during the singer’s preliminary hearing.
These visceral details have turned the luxury home into a macabre tourist attraction rather than a desirable residence, scaring off potential tenants who prefer their homes without a side of forensic investigation. Prosecutors allege that D4vd invited Celeste to the property in April 2025, and she was never heard from again, creating a timeline that makes the empty house feel like a crime scene preserved in amber. The legal troubles for the artist have only compounded the property’s bad luck.
In August, D4vd’s private attorneys withdrew from his murder case after he qualified for a public defender, signaling a shift in the legal strategy. Furthermore, in September, Celeste’s family filed a wrongful death lawsuit against him, adding civil liability to his criminal charges. With D4vd pleading not guilty to the criminal charges, the case remains active, ensuring that the shadow over the home does not lift anytime soon.
While the landlord may be eager to find a tenant, the market is clearly sending a message: money cannot buy comfort when the neighbors know the backstory. The $5,000 monthly cut is a significant financial hit, but it hasn’t been enough to overcome the chilling effect of the ongoing investigation. For now, the Hollywood Hills home sits in limbo, a testament to the fact that in Los Angeles, reputation is the most valuable currency—and once it is tainted by allegations of dismemberment and chainsaws, even a luxury lease is hard to sell. The landlord’s desperation is palpable, but until the legal dust settles, this address is likely to remain the most expensive empty room in the city.
