We have a neighbor that is constantly wandering on our property, talks about wanting to kill someone before he dies, how his favorite three words are kill kill kill. He has also made inapropiate sexual comments in front of our four year old son. Our local police have been involved and are well informed on his behaviour but are unable to do much about it. We have spoken to our landlords about this man, but they don't seem to care as long as he pays his rent. Can we get a civil protection order against him? He lives 10 feet away and seems to disregard the local police warnings about being around us or speaking to us.My fiancee is quite disturbed by his actions and what he talks about all the time, and it is starting to feel quite threatening. Will a civil protection order supercede the landlords and force him to move? Any info would be helpful, I've never been through this type of situation before,Thanks.

Yes, you can go to your local county courthouse and file a petition asking for a restraining order.
The costs vary, but you can find that out by contacting the court.
