He was an abusive alcoholic and refused to leave. He was there long enough to get mail and legal protection from being told to leave. She called police, protective services and other senior support, who said she had to legally evict him. She ended up selling the house and moving across town to a smaller place. It wasn't roomy enough for him, and he bounced back to a girl friend in another state. He came back again and actually rented his own place.
