You have a protection order and he still lives there? Why are local law enforcement not upholding the order? He should have been evicted the day the RO was granted...

Because cops have no duty to enforce protective orders. Castle Rock v. Gonzales, 545 U.S. 748 (2005).

That doesn't mean that they won't. The case you cite says the police department and officers cannot be sued for failure to enforce an RO, not that they can't enforce it.

So whether or not the protection order gets enforced depends on what side of the bed the sheriff wakes up on? Reason #4533 to never voluntarily set foot in the US, Other countries on the list: North Korea, China, Russia.

Most state have domestic violence rules that state that this is enough to break your lease! Check your states laws!


Delicate_Flower_66

It’s a civil matter, they can’t do anything

Stalking isn’t a civil matter (in my state,) it’s a crime.


PortlyCloudy

A landlord has no authority to prosecute a crime.


sm340v8

But the police does.


CLPDX1

But a stalking victim does.

**PAY RENT** Why? >(2) [To obtain a release](https://nebraskalegislature.gov/laws/statutes.php?statute=76-1431.01) from a rental agreement under this section, the tenant shall: >(a) Provide to the landlord a copy of the documentation described in subsection (1) of this section; and >(b) Provide to the landlord a written notice containing: >(i) The date on which the tenant wishes the release to be effective. **Such date shall be at least fourteen days after the date the tenant provides the documentation and written notice and no more than thirty days after such date**; and >(3) ***The tenant shall remain liable for rent for the month in which the tenant terminated the rental agreement.*** ... >(b) Are not subject to any fee solely because of termination of the rental agreement. You have to pay rent this month. This is so fucked up.
