Registered Sex Offender

Ray G.
  • Pittsburg, CA
Posted

I have a tenant who's been great for the past few years.  She moved in with her son and daughter who were in high school but have now grown.  The son has moved out and the daughter has a boyfriend who just moved in (without giving me any notice) a few months ago.

I found out today from tenants that the boyfriend is a level 3 registered sex offender and i've been reading up on the laws related to this.  

Now this is a fourplex and the neighboring tenants all have young kids.  All of the tenants know about the sex offender and are threatening to leave.

I'm considering giving a 60-day notice for the family but wanted to know if anyone else has faced this situation or has any guidance on it.

Thanks!

Hi Ray,

Give the 60 day notice TODAY! Level 3 sex offenders are higher risk. You could face legal action if he "relapses". And don't mention sex offender in the notice. (Don't want to get sued for slander by said sex offender). This is not legal advice, but that is a liability you don't want.
