My mother and I have been leasing an apartment for 40 years. I got a nasty roommate who won't leave. This guy cursed and threatened me by text saying, "you better not knock on my door." I have all this text saved on my cell. I fear my mom may be in danger from this guy. The police said that I have to go to Landlord Tenant court to hopefully evict him. I have some questions:
1) is his threat hard enough to get a restraining order or order of protection to put him out of my home this week? I want him out as soon as possible.
2) what are the chances for success for people in my situation of getting this guy kicked out?
3) do I need an expensive lawyer? Or legal aide?
