The 73-year-old actor and boxing legend recently had a judge rule in favor of his landlord, ordering that he vacate the property after falling behind on rent. According to court filings, Rourke owed roughly $60,000 before the dispute reached a breaking point.
Among the most troubling issues, Rourke says, was a persistent rodent problem that never seemed to go away. "There were ongoing rodent issues that required multiple visits but were never fully resolved, and the bathroom and plumbing frequently did not work," he added to the outlet. According to the actor, requests for repairs were made several times, but he says the problems continued and "basic maintenance was never properly handled."

The housing drama surrounding the veteran star has been ongoing for months. Earlier this year, Rourke was reportedly staying in a West Hollywood hotel with his dog after leaving the apartment. Around the same time, a GoFundMe campaign surfaced online claiming to raise money to help him avoid eviction—something the actor quickly distanced himself from.
“I’d rather stick a gun up my a** and pull the trigger,” the Sin City actor said in a previous Instagram video. His manager, however, lamented that Rourke knew about the campaign and approved it. He vowed that the money would be returned to the original donors.
