A: You most likely cannot rent out any part of your leased rental dwelling without the landlord's express permission - almost every residential lease contains a no subletting clause. If you are in danger of being evicted, for any reason, you wouldn't want to rent or sub-let anything at the dwelling until that issue is resolved. If you rent now and get evicted 2 weeks from now, your tenant might have a great lawsuit against you for damages.

A: I'm sorry about your difficult situation. If you need guidance on the restraining order part of your question, you should repost and add "Criminal Law" to your categories. Good luck
