Tenant has convicted felon boyfriend

[Jazzous Anderson]

Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice, my tenant has a boyfriend who recently was released from jail. He is not on the lease and has spent several days and nights visiting the premises. The tenant lives in my ADU that is attached my main property. The walls are thin and my oldest son can hear them arguing every day. The conversation are really gruesome and often disturbing with statements about killing her many more violent comments. I know I can ask her to put him on the lease but I really don't want him to be no where near the home. What actions or solutions do I have to fix this?

If your family is hearing violent comments about killing her, shouldn't the police be notified? I definitely would not allow him on the lease, even if they request it.  She could then have a domestic violence reason to vacate, leaving you with just him living there?  I'm not sure how old your "oldest son" is that can hear them arguing, but if he's older and is ok with recording them on his phone (if he can hear it, he should likely record it), then you'd have some sort of proof of threatening behavior and lease violation in case you call the police.  Perhaps you can reach out to a women's shelter or assistance group for advice on how to approach her with it the next time he's not there?  She may not know where she can go for help in dealing with this.
