Can you get a restraining order against a roommate?

I have been subletting one of my rooms to a tenant. In the past she has made treats and even pulled a knife against me in an argument.. I should have reported it since then but didn't. we discussed it and all was resolved. I am 7 mth pregnant and need the space. She agreed to leave but since has been trying to pick arguments with me. I am not in the position to handle myself if things do escalate again. She was arrested a few years ago for attacking her step sister.

    Wow, she pulled a knife on you and you let her stay?

    I'd kick her out, change the locks, and tell her she can come get her stuff later...and then pile it outside the door and tell her to get it or it goes in the dumpster.

    Sure, but right now you don't have the grounds for one. You should of reported threats to the police before, you would have a better case.
