Sharon and Tex have the best advice. If you can get the guy to sign off on a waiver then you can renegotiate a new lease with only one tenant. If not, your other tenant needs to call the police when he shows up and there isnt much you can do. Avoiding the conflict is your best bet. Since the guy is on the lease he has a legal right to be in the apartment, which further deems you leave the issue to your tenant. To "re-qualify" the good tenant is really pretty stupid. You go through the whole hassle, which doesnt really accomplish anything, and the guy returns as a guest if/when they resolve their issues. The only thing this would do is allow the LL the ability to remove the tenant by calling the police if he shows up, which the other tenant can already do. Bottom line: If the tenant is able to pay the rent then stay out of it and let her leave her matters to the police. If you feel the need to remove him from the lease, draft a new lease with a waiver and have him sign it. GL
