sex offender in the area

What is the name of your state? California

As an owner of a condo in an association of less than 100 units, I found out from the police department that a recent registered sex offender is living as a renter in a unit close to mine. I have two small children and this sex offender's crime involved a child under 14 years of age. I contacted the owner of the unit and he did not know he is renting to a sex offender; he did not indicate much concern as he did not live in the unit-he stated that as long as he can't get sued for it, he doesn't care to do anything about it. Question is, what can I do to educated the landlord, association board member and the neighborhood about the risks of housing a registerred sex offender? What risks do landlord and association leaders have in knowingly housing a sex offender? If such sex offender commits another such crime in the premise, can the landlord or association leaders be liable in part by knowingly allowing to house a registerred sex criminal who's record involved a minor under age of 14 in a community with many children? Within legal means, what can I do to convince the landlord in considerring to get a different tenant for his unit?

1. You might want to consider that there is probably a sex offender in every neighborhood.
2. The sex offender registries only publish names of those adjudicated guilty of the sex offense.
3. Many offenders were guilty of admitting they performed sexual acts with a several-years-younger girlfriend i.e. 19 y.o. with a 15 y.o. or an adolescent who thought it was funny downloading porn in the comfort of his bedroom while his parents were downstairs. It's not unheard of for African-American males to be jailed for admitting intercourse with a Caucasian girlfriend in some areas.
4. Some offenders are not to be near (live near) minor children. Probation or parole officers may be notified. Some states can't find up to half of their released sex offenders.
5. It's probably likely that children are more likely to encounter sex offenders (names or otherwise) prior to age eighteen. It's probable that children need an education and safety plans to deal with known or trusted sex offenders since the majority of sex offenders are reported to be victims' relatives - not dirty old men.
