Tyrese Gibson is being sued for allegedly damaging an Airbnb rental by making “excessive changes” … but he’s on video saying the changes he made weren’t a big deal.

Wolf alleges Tyrese caused damage throughout the property by altering electrical panels, installing non-compliant electrical outlets, painting a marble fireplace a shiny gold metallic color, closing doors and windows and causing damage to the HVAC units .
TMZ obtained a video of Tyrese showing some of the changes inside the home… He says he blocked some doors and windows for privacy reasons and claims the materials he used are not connected to the home’s existing structures and all changes are only temporary.
The property manager says Tyrese told them there were no permanent changes to the home… but they insist the changes were anything but temporary and definitely caused damage to the property.
Additionally, the property manager claims Tyrese tried to get the homeowner’s gardener to remove 22 banana trees on the property…and when the gardener refused, Tyrese tried to hire another company…but was from the property management was prevented from doing so.

Wolf also claims Tyrese allowed a construction crew to drill a series of holes in the home’s wrought-iron gate and brand-new stucco exterior…and we obtained video showing the alleged damage.
The property manager says Tyrese was repeatedly asked not to make any changes without written consent from the owners…but she claims he ignored the request and made changes on a whim whenever he wanted.
Wolf tells the homeowner, Tiffanique WebbShe tried to be patient with Tyrese and gave him several months to restore the home… but she said Tyrese stopped responding to calls, texts and emails… which led to the lawsuit.
Webb is seeking more than $25,000 in damages from Tyrese.
