Tenant is domestic abuse victim in Michigan house-hack

Hi All,

I have an unfortunate situation that I could use help problem solving.

I have a tenant who was the victim of domestic abuse. The abuser has recently been released from jail and has been showing up at the property. The tenant is okay with this, but I am not. I want to do what I can to protect my tenant, but since this is a house-hack my top priority is the safety of my family. So if I'm legally able to keep the abuser away I'd like to go that route. But if not, or if my tenant keeps bringing him over, I'll need to get them both out asap.

A few extra details:

- This is an inherited tenant on a month to month lease

- The abuser was living with the victim but was not on the lease

- Abuse happened on the property, victim was hospitalized, and abuser was arrested

- Tenant is section 8

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
