If a person has been charged with a felony but has not been convicted, then that person can have possession of a fire arm. Assuming the person (tenant) is convicted of a felony, then one would have to see what terms would be imposed with respect to the conviction and whether that tenant can possess a fire arm or be around some one that has such a weapon. For that, the probation or parole officer would then have to be consulted.
Most likely, if a convicted felon is in a household where there is a fire arm, the fire arm will have to be removed from the premises.
