Mietarrears due to poor housing condition? - Mickey Rourke evicted from LA home after $60K rent dispute ends in court
Actor Mickey Rourke has been evicted from his Los Angeles rental home after failing to pay nearly $60,000 in rent. The eviction follows a court order issued earlier this month, ending a three-month legal dispute with his landlord.
The landlord first took legal action against Rourke in December 2025. The case moved quickly, with a default judgment granted on March 9, 2026. The court ruled that Rourke must either vacate the property or settle the outstanding debt of $59,100.
Rourke argued that the home was uninhabitable due to ongoing issues. He claimed persistent rodent infestations and faulty plumbing made living conditions unacceptable. Despite his complaints, the landlord did not address the problems, prompting Rourke to withhold rent.
After the ruling, Rourke was seen removing his personal belongings from the property. The eviction process concluded without further legal challenges from the actor.
The court's decision brings an end to the dispute, with Rourke now required to leave the premises. The case highlights the legal consequences of unpaid rent, even when tenants raise concerns about living conditions. Rourke's next steps remain unclear following the eviction.
