Los Angeles, Aug 14 (IANS): Actress Jennifer Aniston is being sued by a contractor for failing to pay for a $43,710 deck that was briefly installed for a party outside her Bel Air mansion here.

According to court documents filed at Los Angeles County Superior Court, construction company J.R. Darnall Associates Inc. claims it was hired to do some major renovation at the actress' property in October 2012 and worked on several projects at the house until March 2013, reports tmz.com.

The contractor claims there was never any problem with the work or payment until Aniston asked for a deck for a party at the house on March 24, which was completed in time.

However, the day after the party, the contractor says he was informed that the deck was leaking. The company offered to send an expert to evaluate the damage, but the actress had the deck removed before an inspection could take place.

It claims that Aniston then cut off all communication and never paid for the deck.

There has been no comment from the actress so far.
