[MS] What are a landlord’s rights regarding an unauthorized occupant and extra dog on a lease?

I have 2 people on a lease. One party has her boyfriend staying there over 50% of the time. The boyfriend is verbally abusive to both leasees. One leasee has called the police but they could not do anything to help since there is not verbiage in the lease regarding overnight guests. The leasee with the boyfriend states that he does not have belongings there and does not have a key and does not stay very often, but the other roommate says that is not true and “has proof.” The boyfriend also brings a dog. The lease states 2 dogs and his would be 3 dogs. I am not sure how to handle this further. What are my rights as the landlord and what proof do I need that the boyfriend is there more than he should be? Trying to help the other leasee who has been accommodating to a certain point. Thank you for any help you can offer.

[MS] Is my employer violating ethics or law by falsely advertising my services?

I am a board certified music therapist in Mississippi (MT-BC) and a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) working for a telehealth IOP. The company has removed the words “therapist” and “therapy” from our job description and is asking me to sign consent to a job description starkly different than my initial one, as group therapy is no longer in it. They’ve restructured as a lower level of care providing “psychoeducational” only. My title will no longer say therapist and clients will be receiving music therapy services in group, NOT psychoeducational. We will internally operate as an IOP, not a lower level of care.
