What if the abuser also tries to have me evicted?

If both tenants ask the landlord to evict the other tenant, they will both need to provide qualifying documentation. However, in this situation, the landlord is only required to evict a tenant if there is a court order against them requiring them to leave. If neither tenant has a court order granting them possession of the home, the landlord is not required to evict anyone until a court order directs them to do so.1
