[RPPTL LandTen] Restraining Order Obtained by Landlord Against Tenant

[Cary Sabol]

Les,

I would definitely recommend that you still complete the eviction process prior to taking back possession, despite the burden it may be to the landlord to do so.  I don't believe anything (other than actual abandonment by the tenant) allows a landlord to resort to self help remedies, including an assault on the landlord and the resulting restraining order.  To my knowledge, nothing is a substitute for an eviction.

Subject: [RPPTL LandTen] Restraining Order Obtained by Landlord Against Tenant
  

Here’s a unique one…..Landlord sues Tenant for untimely payment under written residential lease. While waiting for the “expedited hearing” Tenant causes disturbance at the property and eventually “exposes himself” to a minor and Landlord and is arrested. (Minor is the Landlord’s son and does work around the property). Fearing for their safety, Landlord obtains restraining order against Tenant, which included precluding Tenant to go back to the property. Does this action supersede the eviction and give the Landlord the right to immediate possession?
 
Any insight would be helpful.
 
Thanx.
