My roommate is out of control. We have had so many problems with her but lately it has gotten bad. We had a mutual physical fight, in which I pushed her first, but she took it to the next level, grabbed a knife and started threating to kill me. I decided to get a restraining order for the time being, which states that she can not come with in 5 yards of me, and that she can no harass, threaten, or touch me or my other roommate. Only a few hours after being served her papers she broke this order by threating me and my roommate. We called the police she ran but we got a police report. I have gone to my apartment manager so many times and he says he is legally tied and can not really help us unless she is arrested or she really hurts someone. I can’t get her arrested because she always runs away, and I don’t want to have to be seriously hurt in this situation. I can not break my lease, is there any way to get my roommate legally removed from the apartment.
