Abusive Co Signers Rights To Stay ? (If Any?)

[Westin Hudnall]

I am considering adding "no boyfriend/Girlfriend" unless bound by strong bond circumstances such as "baby on the way and planning for an upcoming wedding" etc to my list of do not rent factors. In my first 2 years of renting I have had 3 move outs. 2 were bf/gf breakups that ended end death threats ; abuse ; etc and these are on high end rentals. I got notified of one of these today. The bf (co-signer) is sending death threats to the gf ; she moved out scared for her life and filed a restraining order.

I have no clue how to proceed from a legality standpoint in terms of moving on and what protected rights (if any) the bf has to stay if he wants and whether or not I am simply allowed to charge her our agreed upon early term fee from our lease and move on.

Can't really, discrimination based on family status, you can't define what a family is.

You can have reasonable limitations to guests, go with approval being required after x days, you could then go to additional rents for more tenants. They don't pay, evict.

Your title says co-signer; a co-signor or endorser is not a co-tenant, they have no rights to possession but only guarantee the financial obligation created. Be careful what you call folks on your lease. :)
