"Court records show that Watkins was in the process of being evicted from the Grasmere Avenue home that he rented from Remlinger."

I don't get why a landlord would show up and try to collect rent with a pending eviction case.   Once an eviction is filed there's zero reason to have any contact with the tenants until the sheriff shows up to serve the writ of possession.  You definitely shouldn't take any money from tenants you're evicting so just a dumb all around move.
