Tenant Dating Registered sex offender
I have a section 8 tenant in a 6 unit building who started dating a registered sex offender, my other tenants are upset because they have little kids and don't feel comfortable with a pedophile near their kids. I reached out to the tenant's case worker, and she told me not much they can do since he is not living there. They offender isn't on the lease, and doesn't live there, but recently he has been staying there. I asked the tenant if he is living with her, she said no, he is just visiting, and stays a night here and there. What is my best course of action? Should I just ignore the issue, since they are not really breaking any laws?
In am in Hartford, CT.

I had as similar issue, although the offender was staying there on the regular. When I spoke to my real estate attorney, he thought my first step was to simply send the lease a note letting them know I was aware of his statusand that I would prefer to let them out of their lease than to have them evicted for non-disclosure....luckily it worked and they moved out with out issue.
