My wife and I own several rental properties in Georgia. For some time, and for various reasons, I have suspected that one of our tenants is a prostitute. Recently my wife and I were able to confirm this by searching her nickname and cell-phone number on Google and finding a series of ads that she posted on Craigslist. The ads contain racy photos, some of which are nude, including one taken in the garden tub of the master bedroom of our rental house. The ad clearly states her hourly incall and outcall rates. So it is clear that our suspicions were accurate.
On the one hand, if she continues to pay her rent on time and does not cause problems with her neighbors, I am inclined not to interfere. On the other hand, if we could somehow be considered liable for her illegal activities on our property, we need to stop this tenancy.
Are we exposed to any liability? If so, how should we handle this situation?
Thanks in advance for your advice.
