The housing saga surrounding one of Hollywood’s most recognizable ’80s stars has taken another turn.
A California court has officially ruled in an eviction case involving actor and former boxer Mickey Rourke, bringing months of uncertainty about his living situation to a close. According to court documents obtained by PEOPLE on Tuesday, March 10, a Los Angeles County Superior Court judge entered a judgment on March 9 in favor of landlord Eric T. Goldie in an unlawful detainer case tied to a home on Drexel Avenue in Los Angeles.
The judgment was entered “by default,” which typically means the defendant did not respond to the complaint or appear in court within the required time. As a result, Goldie was granted possession of the property. The ruling also states that the rental agreement has been canceled and the lease forfeited—meaning the actor no longer has the legal right to occupy the home.
The development follows earlier filings that alleged Rourke, 73, owed $59,100 in back rent. In December, he was served with a notice requiring him to either pay the amount owed or vacate the property within three days.

By January, the situation had already begun to escalate publicly. Rourke was photographed moving belongings out of the house around the same time a GoFundMe campaign appeared online claiming to raise funds to support the actor. Rourke quickly distanced himself from the fundraiser.
In a video shared to Instagram on January 5, he said he was “frustrated” and “confused” about the campaign and insisted he had no knowledge of it, despite his managers saying otherwise. “I wouldn't ask for no f**king charity. I'd rather stick a gun up my a** and pull the trigger,” he said in the video.
Despite the turmoil, there have been some unexpected upsides. Rourke’s longtime manager Kimberly Hines previously told The Hollywood Reporter that renewed attention around the situation sparked fresh interest from filmmakers. “The good thing about this is that he got four movie offers since yesterday,” Hines said at the time. “People are emailing him movie offers now, which is great because nobody’s been calling him for a long time.”
At the time of the move-out, Hines also revealed the home itself had fallen into serious disrepair, citing “black mold,” “no running water,” and extensive water damage that made much of Rourke’s furniture unsalvageable.
