Domestic Abuse/Firstborn Duplex

[Kim Herrick]

Hi All!

I have an unfortunate situation going on at my duplex.  I have a tenants who signed a month to month lease in March. Since then the police have been to the residence three times and the neighbors have repeated called me because of abuse.  

The wife has a restraining order against her husband so he is not living there.  However, he continues to break into the residence and destroy her belonging and breaking the window frames along the way. 

I am concerned for many reasons. At this point I don’t think it is safe for her and her  three small children to remain there if he can so easily access them.  As well as my concern for escalating damage to the property.  

This is weighing on my heart.  Has anyone had a situation like this? My first duplex is really giving me a run for my money.
