Landlord Sues Mickey Rourke Over $59,100 in Unpaid Rent and Seeks Eviction

A case-management hearing is scheduled for April 6 in Los Angeles County Superior Court.

Overview

  • Court filings allege Rourke fell $59,100 behind on rent and was served a three-day pay-or-quit notice posted at the home on Dec. 18 after he was not found at the property.
  • The actor signed the lease in March at $5,200 per month, and the rent was later increased to $7,000, according to the filings.
  • The landlord is seeking attorney’s fees and damages in addition to the unpaid rent.
  • The residence is described as a 1926 three-bedroom Spanish bungalow near The Grove that public records say once housed novelist Raymond Chandler.
  • Reporters say attempts to reach Rourke or his representatives for comment were unsuccessful, according to the latest coverage of the court filing.
