HOLLYWOOD, CA – In a stunning legal blow, a California court has officially terminated Mickey Rourke's rental agreement after the actor defaulted on nearly $60,000 in back rent, forcing the Golden Globe winner to vacate his three-bedroom Drexel Avenue home and relocate to a West Hollywood hotel.
The judgment, handed down against landlord Eric T. Goldie's eviction case, cancels Rourke's lease entirely. Court documents reveal Rourke was served a notice in December demanding payment of $59,100 within three days or immediate departure from the property he had occupied since March 2025.

Despite the eviction drama, Rourke's representative, Hines, claims the actor is experiencing an "outpouring of love and support" from fans and is poised for a major comeback. "Mickey has received many offers in the last few days, is attached to multiple projects, and is developing his own property through a graphic novel deal with Jay Firestone and Prodigy Pictures," Hines stated, adding optimistically, "2026 will be a banner year for Mickey."
TheEntBase reached out to Hines for comment on the court's decision but has not yet received a response. This eviction case highlights the stark contrast between Rourke's past accolades and current financial struggles, sparking widespread discussion on celebrity finances and housing crises in Hollywood.
