Lamar Odom
, the former NBA champion and reality TV personality, is facing legal and financial trouble once again. A Los Angeles court recently ordered Odom to vacate a luxury Studio City mansion after he failed to pay $45,000 in rent over three months.
Despite his continued public efforts at rebuilding his life post-addiction, the ruling adds to yet another low point for the 45-year-old ex-husband of Khloé Kardashian.
Lamar Odom kicked out of mansion after skipping rent payments
Lamar Odom's eviction stems from a rental dispute with Executive Recovery Group, Inc., the sublessor of a lavish property once leased by the late rapper Mac Miller. According to a New York Post exclusive, court documents reveal that Odom entered into a verbal, month-to-month rental agreement in December 2024, promising to pay $15,000 per month in rent.
Between January and March 2025, however, the rent went unpaid, racking up a $45,000 debt. On March 11, the landlord issued a three-day notice to pay or vacate the premises, which was both posted on the property and mailed to Odom. The legal warning stated, 'If you fail to perform or otherwise comply, Landlord declares the forfeiture of the lease or rental agreement under which you occupy said premises' (via NY Post).
Odom reportedly did not respond to the lawsuit, and by April 28, the court sided with Executive Recovery Group.
The judgment gave the company possession of the home and forced Odom to leave, while also opening the door for further legal action over attorney fees and damages.
The legal filing also included an election of forfeiture, with the sublessor officially terminating Odom's lease on March 17. The landlord claimed the market value of the home is roughly $500 per day.
Odom's representatives have yet to comment publicly on the ruling.
Lamar Odom's history of struggle and attempted redemption
This isn't the first time Odom's life has made headlines for all the wrong reasons. Since his near-fatal overdose at Nevada's Love Ranch in 2015, which led to 12 strokes and six heart attacks, he's been on a long and highly public recovery journey. At the time, Khloé Kardashian halted their divorce to remain by his side. Their marriage officially ended in 2016.
In recent years, Odom launched his own rehabilitation program, Odom Wellness Treatment Centers, hoping to help others with addiction.
He's also tried reentering the public eye, appearing awkwardly alongside Khloé in Season 6 of The Kardashians and even venturing into cryptocurrency.
However, that too met with turbulence. Just days ago, he introduced his new venture, $ODOM coin, at Donald Trump's crypto event, only to be booed during the presentation.

While several outlets, including Celebrity Net Worth, reported that Odom has an estimated net worth of $30 million as of February 2025, his recent financial status does not support the reports. As of yet, his actual net worth is not known.
