exclude A. There was no protection order in place at the time of A’s entry, and A has not been charged with violation of a protection order anyway. It cannot be criminal trespass to enter your own dwelling. A’s lease with landlord controls over any subsequent
lease landlord gives to anyone for the same premises during the period of A’s lease.
