Protective order from boyfriend against girlfriend

[Tom Thomson]

48 hours after this boyfriend and girlfriend move in I get a message from the guy that the girl punched him in his eye and he is scared to live there and wants off the lease.   I told him I would need all parties that signed the lease to sign a one page amendment taking him off.   Of course the girl said she in not signing anything.   Ugh.    He insists that he does not want to and is not going to live there now and went to the courts today and got a protective order against her.    The order clearly states she must leave or be removed from the premises because that is his address.   I just have a feeling I'm getting scammed somehow for some reason.   I guess the only thing I can do is want and see if the Sept. 1st rent shows up and if not be ready to file for eviction ASAP.   This should be a fun one!
