I have spoken to him about it several times. The kids behavior gets better for a short while then reverts back. She has dogs and as such goes out with them giving him more opportunity for engagement.
I do not understand how the kid needs daycare, but not night. He had a roommate for a while.
at first the tenant would engage the kid, now she blows by him without acknowledging.
She did text me at 3am about the noise.
I do not want to lose her as she has made improvements at no cost to me and the place looks fabulous.

Some of this is on the tenant. She can be pleasant and friendly to the kid while maintaining boundaries, but she's not automatically entitled to a universe free of difficult interactions. She's in possession of all of her faculties, so she can say "Hey Fred, nice to see you. I don't feel like hugging today. See you later!" and moving on with her dogs. If she finds this tedious or an imposition on her mere existence, then yes, she should find another place to live.

On the other hand, if "Fred" is physically larger than she is, and he can't distinguish between welcome and unwelcome hugs, whoever is responsible for him needs to be made aware of the issues. He's not calling her "friend", he's calling her "girlfriend". Sex and the developmentally disabled is practically a taboo topic, but ignoring the problem can lead to huge issues. Perhaps you can encourage her to speak directly to his stepdad in the role of "concerned lady neighbor".
