Tyga- I don't owe rent, I'm buyin' the darn house!!!

Tyga says the eviction lawsuit his landlord filed against him is false, because he's NOT a renter ... he's a homebuyer.
According to Tyga, he made a down payment of $200,000 on the Calabasas mansion a full year ago and the landlord told him he could move in during escrow, without paying any rent.

Tyga says the escrow was supposed to close many months ago, but didn't because the seller didn't provide Tyga's bank with info that would allow the loan to be processed.

However, the landlord says Tyga is lying and is a squatter.
His lawyer, Lee Hutton, tells TMZ, "We evidently live in a world where a man's word is no longer his bond."
