QUESTION
Is it right that my landlord says adult child cannot come visit me if he got in trouble with the law for assault with girlfriend?

No. In exchange for the rent you pay, you get "quiet enjoyment" of the home. You can invite any person to visit you. The landlord can only object if a crime is being committed on the premises.

What does your lease say? If it prohibits felons or violent people, then your landlord may be able to do that.

Not unless it is in the lease or rental agreement if the incident did not occur on the rental or landlords property.

It depends on your lease. If you lease allows landord to restrict your guests and he has a reason to do so, then yes.

Depends. Is this Public Housing? How "in trouble?" Convicted? THe Landlord has the right to be reasonable. If this adult child is a bad cookie, the landlord is within his rights. And if this is a Project, you can lose your lease for this.
