It's been demonstrated many times here that people don't appreciate the type of advice you and G bring to the table. Sanctimonious rants full of bad, unethical, and often illegal advice.

Why did you feel the need to reply to this 10 hours after MrDan set the record straight with *facts and laws* in regard to the OPs issue?

    Why do you feel the need to constantly attack posters who have the courage not to go Anonymous?

    And calling out another poster in your post title, like you did Mr. Dan, is against forum rules.

      When a person cannot defend their position or statement, they change the subject!

      Being Anonymous has no bearing on the answer and is just a dodge.

      Calling out another poster for their professional experience is not against the forum rules. Just another defection from answering the proposed question.

      You said you thought G's advice was good, so provide the reason why you believe it's good so we can understand your reason?

I fail to see why it was better the poster who list the law and provided facts. Would you please explain why you believe that G's post is good?

    In my opinion, it's now almost September. The lease is up in November. It may be better just to wait until the lease is up and end the tenancy then try to get this guy out now. There is no reason to believe that the wife won't just let him move right back in a couple of days if the OP somehow gets him out. And if he does leave, what is he stops paying. Then the OP has to evict the wife for non-payment.

    I never said G's was better than Mr. Dan's post. It was better then that Anonymous poster's answer. I find the anonymous poster a bit immature. The put down someone else post, but they can't come up with an answer themselves, so they make a shout out to another poster on a public forum.

      "It may be better just to wait until the lease is up and end the tenancy then try to get this guy out now"

      Under Fair Housing Act, when a landlord is aware that a resident may be experiencing Harassment (Domestic Violence) because of their protected class, the landlord has a legal responsibility to investigate, to take action to stop any harassing behavior, and to ensure that it does not recur. If a landlord fails to take effective action, then that is a violation of the fair housing act and subjects the landlord to a charge of discrimination.

      Many States have penalties for landlords who fail to respond to tenants of Domestic Violence. In Texas, it's one months rent, $500, court cost and attorney fees. Others like Oregon, it's three times the rent, court cost and attorney fees. Several States do not directly address the landlords responsibility, but a landlord who fails to respond can face discrimination charges which can result in tens of thousands of dollars in penalties.

      "There is no reason to believe that the wife won't just let him move right back in a couple of days". This is why the landlord should also 'Trespass' the offender from the property. If the offender is allowed to return by the victim, the landlord can move to evict everyone then.

      "Then the OP has to evict the wife for non-payment" A possibility, but that sounds very "sexist".

      When a tenant informs the landlord they are a victim of domestic violence, the landlord has no choice but to respond to avoid liability. Foolishly waiting for the tenancy to end may result in injury or even death to the victim.

      Every landlord should have a clear policy on domestic violence. Several states require the landlord to provide the tenant with a copy or include it in their lease.
