Domestic Problem with Tenants

[Nicolas Blish]

Hello All,

Seeking a little advice on a messy situation one of my tenants has and therefore I have.  The short and sweet is that I have a married couple living in one of my units and the wife wants the husband out due to abusive behavior to her and their child.  Gave her some time to cool down and make sure that's the route she wants to proceed and she seems to be ready to cut ties.  She is the income provider for the family and wants to keep the unit but both names are on the lease.  My first thought is to go through the eviction process and then resign with just her.  Might be easier to just cut ties entirely and wish them well but she is a relatively good tenant.  I can evict on the grounds of smoking or damaged property easily.   Anyone been in a similar situation?  Any advice appreciated!

These tenants were acquired with the property and did not go through my screening process.
