Isaiah Washington is movin' on out—if not up.

The former Grey's Anatomy star and his wife have left their Los Angeles home a week after receiving an eviction notice for failing to pay more than $100,000 in back rent.

According to court documents obtained by E! News, the owner of the property, identified as Kevin McCauley of Sandalwood Properties, claims Washington and his missus, Jenisa, failed to fork over the $20,000 monthly rent-to-own payments since November.

The landlord gave his celebrity tenant a three-day notice on March 19 to pay the overdue amount or "quit," but got no response from the Washingtons and filed his complaint on March 24.

The couple was spotted packing up their belongings earlier this week. They had until today to vacate the residence or face even stiffer penalties.

In his legal papers, McCauley had asked for damages of $3,333.33 for each day the couple remained in the house after April 1, in addition to the full $100,000 in overdue rent plus attorneys fees.

McCauley lamented having to take the legal action.

"They are very nice people, this is an unfortunate matter," he told RadarOnline.com.

Washington currently does not have a publicist and was unable to be reached.

A court date has been scheduled for April 8 regarding the back rent.
