No, a penalty on committing a crime. Actions have consequences.

If it's a penalty not paid by non-poor criminals, that sounds like a penalty on poverty

They go to a halfway house or they go back to their family. They don't deserve any more than that. If they don't have family, they stay at the halfway house where they are helped to find employment and their own lodging. They are felons. Not stellar members of society, there is no 'free ride'.

If you're so concerned about where these released criminals go, why don't you offer to take one in?

Personally I don't care where they go as long a they aren't living next door to me. Harsh? Probably, and I don't care. A convicted felon is a convicted felon and is likely to be a repeat offender...he can do his repeating on your block, not mine. (thankfully my HOA won't even take misdemeanors so we're good).

Then all felons should go to halfway houses.

You have to look at the consequences. By all means, you have to realize she lied to you in the first place by omitting a serious situation. You weren't given all the information to make an informed decision for her to move in.
You must think of yourself and not her living arrangement. Because if you get thrown out,you need to find a place and she will just find another host.

Well she needs to be responsible and get her own place, simple solution to that problem.

I live in southern california. My apartment is 2 bedrooms 2bath. My son and I are on the lease. My close friend is on AB 109. Her PO told her the police department will come with up to 7 units unannounced pull all parties out of the house and search it all so she can live here. Is this true? A big production for all my neighbors to see? Can I get evicted?? Why so many police?? Why not just her PO??

I am on the lease and am paying rent on time and have never had a problem and have my gf listed on the paperwork.

After we moved in the gffs mother moved in with us. She helps with the rent and although can be a little annoying has not been a big problem. So here is my problem.

The mother has a felony record (I did not know this at the time) for a pretty serious theft charge that is recent. The way I found out is her probation officer came to my apartment so I checked online.

I like her and she helps to cook and clean and has a low paying job and contributes a little to the rent, which helps.

She has mental issues but is on meds but there are some red flags especially that it appears she tries to use to guys for money and favors.

We don't a lot of money and her mom contributing helps but I am worried that somebody might report to the rental office that she is a felon and I could get evicted for not listing her.

With the probation officer checking in I don't know the law but maybe he may have to talk to the rental office or some of her guy friends that know a lot about her might call the rental office and tell them (she seems to go through guys....not healthy).

If somebody reports to the rental office about my gfs mom will they ask her to leave or even try to evict me?

I have always paid rent on time am hoping that I can explain if this happens.

She helps with the rent so if they found out do you think they would let her stay?

Thank you.
It sounds like you are violating the lease by having her live there without approval from the manager/LL. Her being a felon would in most cases make her a unacceptable applicant.

After 3.5 years I'm sure the OP has moved on from this
