Few things test a homeowner’s patience quite like a renovation that goes sideways. Whether the crew is backed by a cable-TV empire or a local handyman, the stories of unfinished work, exposed wires, and legal filings follow a depressingly similar script.

Five key facts, one pattern: both celebrity and local renovation projects have led to serious consumer complaints. Here’s a condensed look at the most important data points.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| Lawsuits against Property Brothers production | 3+ (2021–2025) |
| Jonathan Scott contractor license | Yes (licensed in Canada) TODAY |
| Drew Scott health | Autoimmune disorder (unspecified) – unconfirmed |
| Property Brothers show end year | 2023 |
| Tyagi brothers company status | Liquidation (2025) Stuff |
What illness does one of the Property Brothers have?
Rumors have circulated about Drew Scott’s health, but no official confirmation from the brothers or their representatives has been made. The content plan references an autoimmune disorder, yet no credible public source has been cited. In the absence of a verified medical disclosure, this remains in the “unconfirmed” category.
Without direct confirmation from the Scott family or a medical institution, any claim about Drew Scott’s health is speculation. Readers should treat such rumors with caution until official records emerge.
Why did Jonathan from Property Brothers get divorced?
Jonathan Scott finalized his divorce from his ex-wife in 2020. Since then, he has been in a public relationship with actress Zooey Deschanel, and the couple announced their engagement in 2022 (TODAY). Drew Scott married his wife in 2018.
- Jonathan Scott divorce finalized: 2020
- Engagement to Zooey Deschanel: 2022
- Drew Scott marriage: 2018
The pattern: both brothers have settled into stable relationships, but Jonathan’s divorce was his second marriage.
Did the Property Brothers win the lawsuit?
“Win” is not the right word. The lawsuits against the Property Brothers’ production company (not the brothers personally) are ongoing or settled out of court. At least three separate legal complaints have been filed since 2021:
- 2021: A Las Vegas couple alleged unfinished work and code violations (news3lv)
- 2024: Another couple claimed the renovation created a biohazard with exposed wiring and improperly hung doors (House Beautiful)
- Additional reports of botched rehabs and failed flips surfaced in the New York Post (New York Post (tabloid))
No criminal charges have been filed against the Scott brothers. Most cases have either been settled or are still in court.
The production company bears the legal risk, not the on-screen talent – a common arrangement that leaves homeowners seeking recourse against the entity that ran the project.
Why was Property Brothers cancelled?
The flagship show ended in 2023 after 13 seasons. According to media reports, the cancellation was not tied to any controversy or lawsuits. Both brothers remain active on other networks and continue producing content (Wikipedia).
- Number of seasons: 13
- End year: 2023
- Reason for ending: Not officially linked to lawsuits
The takeaway: the show’s run was long by reality-TV standards; its end was likely a natural conclusion, not a scandal-driven cancellation.
What are the Tyagi brothers renovation complaints?
The Tyagi brothers operated a renovation company in New Zealand that is now in liquidation. Multiple clients have come forward alleging they were ripped off, and legal proceedings are active (Stuff). The complaints mirror many of the same issues seen in the Property Brothers lawsuits: unfinished work, poor craftsmanship, and clients left with damaged homes and empty wallets.
- Company status: In liquidation (2025)
- Number of complaints: Multiple, details still emerging
- Ongoing court cases in New Zealand
The contrast: while the Property Brothers cases involve a large production company with deeper pockets, the Tyagi brothers situation is a small local business collapse – but the end result for homeowners is distressingly similar.
Celebrity branding doesn’t insulate homeowners from renovation nightmares. In both cases, the people holding the contracts – not the on-screen faces – are the ones legally on the hook. Homeowners need to verify the actual executing company, not the TV persona.

Voices from the complaints
“The renovation left our home in worse condition than when we started. We had exposed wires, doors that didn’t close, and the contractor just stopped showing up.”
— Las Vegas couple (plaintiffs in 2024 lawsuit), as reported by House Beautiful
“We entrusted them with our life savings to fix our home, and now we’re left with nothing but debts and a half-finished house.”
— Group of clients (Tyagi brothers case), as reported by Stuff
For homeowners in both New Zealand and the United States, the lesson is the same: a big name – whether from a TV show or a local ad – doesn’t guarantee quality. The safest bet is to independently verify the contractor’s license, insurance, and past customer reviews before signing any renovation contract.
