Can Spouse of Married Couple Legally Come on Property if they are not on Lease

Hey Everyone,

I have an interesting situation. I have rented to this lady in the past and she is a good renter. Now she is wanting to rent from me again, however, she is married now but separated from her husband. So they are legally still married but not living together. If she moves in and is the ONLY one on the lease, can her husband come on the property? Her husband is an alcoholic and smokes and thus is the reason she has left him. 

As of right now, her concern is if he try's to come on the property, does he have any right to. If he doesn't, can he be removed by the authorities? 

Also, if she wants to get back together with him, then can she bring him on the property if hes not on the lease? My lease does state that anyone not on the lease that stays for more than 10 days in any 6 month period is considered "residing" and can be sufficient grounds for termination. I just don't know if the married part conflicts with any of that. 

Hope all that makes sense.


Thanks!
