The fight between a Bellevue property owner and a tenant he started eviction proceedings against is heating up in court.

Stephen Freeborn, the attorney for the property owner, told KOMO News the restraining order request is “frivolous.”Kim told KOMO News that his family needs the protection because his daughter’s been bullied at the bus stop and because people have protested outside the house he’s renting. That protest, on March 23, included the property owner’s family, friends, neighbors, and even the chair of the King County Republic Party.
Freeborn detailed all of the payments received from the Housing Justice Project. That group stepped in last year, paying more than $37,000 for rent due by Kim.But the family didn't leave, so another eviction lawsuit was filed. The one now scheduled for a hearing on April 5. And then, just this week, Freeborn told KOMO the Housing Justice Project mailed another check for $44,000 to cover the last ten months of unpaid rent.
KOMO asked him if he plans to move by then. He did not directly answer the question but said he is looking for someplace to rent, perhaps outside the city of Bellevue, because he said his name has been unfairly tarnished in that city.
