college student rental question
I have a 5-bedroom rental populated with college students and this is my first rental property. The tenants are all friends, but one of them has become difficult. For example, he frequently crosses the line with his "humor", making inappropriate sexual references. He lets his alarm clock go off for hours. He makes aggressive and inappropriate comments to guests of the other room-mates. So he hasn't technically broken the terms of the lease, he is just an unpleasant guy. However, if this continues, a couple people have said they will leave and I know others who have decided not to move in because of his behavior.
What recourse do I have against him and is there any language I can add to my lease agreement to prevent this in the future?

@Bruce Godfrey are they all on one lease? If so, let them work it out on their own.
In my experience college students will absolutely pull you into their drama if you allow them to. We put all roommates on one lease and let them know they're all responsible for the full amount no matter what happens.
It's amazing how many roommate issues that has taken care of.
