Actor Mickey Rourke is facing eviction from his Los Angeles home over nearly $60,000 in unpaid rent.
Court documents filed on Monday reveal Rourke received a three-day notice to pay or vacate on 18 December but failed to comply.
The property owner, Eric Goldie, is seeking compensation for attorney's fees and damages.
Rourke's monthly rent for the three-bedroom house reportedly recently increased from $5,200 to $7,000.
The Oscar-nominated actor has recently spoken about financial difficulties and was removed from Celebrity Big Brother UK due to controversial behaviour, including inappropriate and homophobic comments.
