After receiving an unconditional pardon from his father, President Joe Biden, Hunter Biden now confronts allegations that he owes former landlords substantial sums for unpaid rent, exceeding $300,000.
Shaun Maguire, a partner at the venture capital firm Sequoia, took to social media to voice his concerns, questioning whether the pardon would absolve Hunter Biden’s alleged debt. “So what happens to the $300k+ in back pay rent that Hunter Biden owes my family from 2019-2020? Is that pardoned now? Thanks Joe,” Maguire wrote on X.
Not only has #HunterBiden gotten away with his crimes. He has left several landlords holding the bag for over $380K in rent!

The president’s pardon, signed on Sunday, grants Hunter Biden a “full and unconditional pardon” for any federal crimes he may have committed between January 1, 2014, and December 1, 2024. This pardon covers the federal charges Hunter Biden faced related to tax crimes and a case involving his allegedly false statements about substance abuse on a firearm background check form.
Maguire claimed that Hunter Biden was their tenant in Venice, California, and failed to pay rent for over a year. According to Maguire, Hunter Biden attempted to pay with “art made from his own feces,” describing him as an “absolute s– bag.” Maguire further alleged that the monthly rent for the house, located on the canals in Venice, was $25,000, and that Hunter Biden “changed the locks and used secret service to enforce. We had no access to the property.”
When questioned by a social media user about attempting to evict Hunter Biden over the unpaid rent, Maguire expressed hesitation, citing the Biden family as “kind of a scary family to go after.”
"Fuck you, Joe Biden, and your sob story about your rich, spoiled, presidential kid, Hunter Biden, and how he's been singled out. Because I know I speak for millions of people who have an addict in their family, who did something they're not proud of, who could never get out from… pic.twitter.com/7dk2EPBRys

It’s important to note that unpaid rent, as alleged by Maguire, would be a civil issue and not covered by a presidential pardon, which applies only to federal crimes.
Maguire’s claim follows a previous allegation that Hunter Biden failed to pay tens of thousands of dollars in rent to another landlord. According to DailyMail.com, citing sources familiar with the dispute, Hunter Biden owed Sweetgreen CEO and co-founder Jonathan Neman approximately $80,000 in back rent, equivalent to three months’ worth of rent at a different $25,000-a-month house in Venice.
