If he is not licensed as a contractor and failed to obtain a permit, and put unhealthy persons on your property, you should prevail. As part of your defense, tell the judge that the plaintiff can complete the job, if he obtains the permit, and doesn't bring dangerous people on your property. You might want to consult directly with a civil practice attorney, in your area to prepare your side of the case.

Good luck
