I’ve actually thought a lot about this. From a landlord perspective, there wasn’t much he could do except let the legal process of the eviction play out. I’ve actually had to get an order of protection against a tenant and all that did was bar me from my property while waiting for the eviction to take place. The court wouldn’t allow the OOP hearing to, in essence, replace the eviction process. For me, it was complicated, as I had to hire people to do what I typically did. For Michael, that would have been significantly more complicated. He could have left, but could he have left his horses, boarders, students, etc…behind? That’s a tough, tough call.
