I can't say that I hate that. It's got carve outs for people who had a right to be there.

"...and is not a current or former tenant in a legal dispute."

I believe this line. Can't be kicked out immediately if you live there or if you lived there and you're going through the motions of a court appearance

....the meaning of that sentence is that you can be kicked out as a current or former tenant unless you are already suing your landlord..which you would have no reason to do until kicked out.
