Mickey Rourke Evicted From Los Angeles Rental After Default Court Ruling

Rourke says he withheld rent over unresolved plumbing, mold and rodent issues, rejecting a fan fundraiser tied to the dispute.

Overview

  • The Los Angeles County Superior Court entered a default judgment on March 9 restoring possession to landlord Eric T. Goldie and canceling Rourke’s lease.
  • Court filings detail a December 18 notice demanding about $59,100 in back rent and a December 29 eviction complaint, followed by no response from the actor.
  • The judgment addressed possession only, leaving any potential monetary claims to be resolved separately.
  • Rourke has been reported staying at a West Hollywood hotel after moving out in January, with one outlet citing a pending relocation to Koreatown.
  • A GoFundMe launched by an associate raised tens of thousands of dollars, but Rourke publicly disavowed the effort as donations were set to be returned.
