In documents obtained by PEOPLE, co-owners Jennifer and John Durand filed a complaint seeking compensatory damages of at least $2 million. The pair's attorney argues that when Heche crashed her Mini Cooper into their property, where renter Lynne Mishele was residing at the time, the "violent impact from the crash caused severe structural damage to the home, which immediately erupted in a towering inferno." "At the time Heche plowed into and decimated their house, the Durands were leasing their house and property, and the Durands received a substantial economic benefit from the lease and the monthly rent that they received," the document states.
