Mickey Rourke Faces Eviction for $59,100 Unpaid Rent

Mickey Rourke, the 73-year-old Oscar-nominated actor and former professional boxer, is facing eviction from a rented home in Los Angeles after accumulating nearly $60,000 in unpaid rent, according to court documents filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

The filings detail that Rourke, whose legal name is Philip Andre Rourke Jr., signed a lease in March for a three-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom Spanish-style bungalow in the Beverly Grove neighborhood. The property, built in 1926 and later renovated, spans about 1,500 square feet on a lot exceeding 6,000 square feet and includes private outdoor spaces. Rourke initially paid $5,200 per month, but the rent increased to $7,000. On December 18, landlord Eric Goldie issued a three-day notice requiring Rourke to pay the overdue amount of $59,100 or vacate the premises. Court records indicate the notice was posted on the front door and mailed after no suitable adult was found at the home during delivery. Goldie has requested the court order Rourke to cover the unpaid rent, damages, and attorney fees. A case management hearing is scheduled for April 6.
