QUESTION:
I had a friend lease my couch with a verbal agreement no drugs in my house if caught with it he would be asked to leave. The cops came last night and said he has the right to live here until the management kicks him out
ANSWER:
“No negative contact” in the context of criminal law, typically means a protective order (or a term of probation) that is not as strict as a “No contact” order. It allows contact between parties if the contact is peaceful. It is sometimes called a No-MATH order (MATH meaning molest/annoy/threaten/harass).
I hope that answers your question.
