How can I keep my roommate’s boyfriend out of my apartment?
The lease in my name only. The roommate sometimes pays the agreed upon rent. The boyfriend does have a history of domestic abuse. The boyfriend has taken my personal property from the apartment then returned it later. I have changed the locks and asked the roommate not to let him in but she still does. I am afraid to confront the boyfriend due to his abusive nature.

If you do not want your roommate's boyfriend at the rental that you two have you should do the following:
1. have a face to face meeting with her expressing your concerns and the fact that the boyfriend is no longer welcome;
2. if the roommate refues to heed your request you need to get a new roommate or a new place to live;
3. consider consulting a family law attorney about getting a restraining order against the boyfriend if you are concerned for your safety if item # 2 does not work out to your satisfaction.
