Lamar Odom Faces Troubling Setback: Evicted for Failing to Pay $45,000 in Rent

Lamar Odom, the well-known 45-year-old ex-NBA player, has faced eviction due to alleged unpaid rent for his Los Angeles residence. The former star, who played for teams including the Clippers, Mavericks, Heat, and Lakers, was ordered to vacate after his landlord initiated legal action, claiming Odom owes $45,000 in overdue rent, as reported by the New York Post. According to Executive Recovery Group, Inc., he failed to fulfill his rental obligations for three months, from January 1 to March 31. The eviction notice warned, "Failure to comply results in lease termination." Notably, the late rapper Mac Miller previously occupied the same apartment, which rents for roughly $500 daily. Despite earning approximately €116 million during his career, Odom continues to face significant personal challenges after a near-fatal overdose in 2015.
