Situation with not-on-lease boyfriend in jail for assaulting my t

[S Harper]

So my tenant has always said her boyfriend doesn't live there. She finally admitted two weeks ago he had moved in and asked to add him to the lease. He has not submitted an application and is not on the lease. He assaulted her, she is in the hospital and he is in jail for now but bail is a possibility. Her lease is up 8/1 and am guessing she will not renew, but won't be out of the hospital by then.

Any good attorney recs for Denver metro?

Any advice? I have already told her parent that everything needs to be in writing going forward, have changed the locks and am working with police. Going to call CO housing today, but the more advice the better.

Thanks

@S Harper most likely his belongings are inside the property. I am pretty sure lack of a key isn't going to stop him from trying to enter, which probably means a door being kicked in. I would make arrangements to get his belongings out of the property and either in storage or returned to him some how. Get him notified of how to get his stuff peacefully. I would consider putting a cheap wifi security cam inside the front door to get notified of motion. 

One option is to work with the family to remove everything from the property and ideally have the family take her stuff. Then you can get it vacant to rerent the property. Or another option is for you to put all the property in storage. Otherwise I would ask the family to pay rent for August and have her out September 1.
