Mickey Rourke Explains Why He Didn’t Pay $60,000 in Rent Before Eviction

A court judgment this past week ordered Mickey Rourke, actor, to vacate his Los Angeles rental and the property was returned to landlord Eric Goldie.
Rourke said he stopped paying rent because ongoing rodent problems and bathroom failures made his Los Angeles rental home unacceptable after months of unresolved maintenance requests, and a December 2024 notice demanded $59,100 or eviction.
Kimberly Hines said her team created the fundraiser in an act of desperation, which raised more than $102,000 before being taken down.
Rourke has been living at a West Hollywood hotel with his dog since January after relocating from the rental, and Kimberly Hines, Rourke's representative, said Rourke's legal team is pursuing the matter.
The reporting arrives amid wider controversies such as court documents viewed by TMZ, the Los Angeles Times, People and NBC detailing the landlord's bid for possession and Rourke's February 15 Instagram post about Eric Dane.
