Saline, MI asked in Domestic Violence and Landlord - Tenant for Michigan

Q: I live in a market rate cooperative and own my townhouse. I was recently granted a PPO on an employee of the cooperative

That I was dating for the last 5 years. I alerted the BOD and management of the PPO and they haven’t responded, just saying that they have received copy of PPO. When I asked if he was working because I wanted to drop by the office they told me it was employee confidentiality and taunted me. I feel they are targeting me in various ways now.

What are my rights in this situation as he is still employed where I live and I feel like a prisoner in my own home.

1 Lawyer Answer

A: Your former boyfriend is responsible for adhering to the terms of the PPO; not the employer, who has no more obligation to you than to him. It is unreasonable to expect an employer or cooperative to manage what is a personal legal issue between you two.
