<div dir="ltr">Since the tenant is in breach, you can still proceed with the eviction. If you are representing the LL at the Protection hearing, I would review the texts to make sure they could not be construed as threatening. The judge will probably review them. In cases I have dealt with in the past (where the facts fit), I have successfully argued that the protection order should be dismissed because the petitioner the dispute was a landlord-tenant dispute, and the landlord was acting within the bounds of Landlord-Tenant law, and was not actually harassing the petitioner.<div><br></div><div>If you can't get that, get the protection order modified so that the landlord can still carry out landlord duties.<br><div><br></div><div><br></div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br clear="all"><div><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><div dir="ltr"><div><br><div dir="ltr"><div><span style="font-family:tahoma,sans-serif"><font><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)"><span style="line-height:150%">Best Regards,</span></span></font><font color="#888888"><span style="color:rgb(102,102,102)"><span style="font-variant:small-caps;font-size:13.5pt"><b><font><br>
