What To Do When a Neighbor Has a Dispute With Your Tenant?
Sarasota Area Tenants Don't Always Play Nice
As the 80's pop-band "Depeche Mode" used to sing, "People are people, so why should it be . . ." (I'm really dating myself here ;-)). The truth is, people sometimes aren't nice to each other—it's a fact of life.
Our Owner Gets a Letter
I got an email not long ago from one of our owners regarding an alleged dispute between neighbors—here it is, with some masking of identifiable info for privacy reasons:
"Good-day & hello,
I received a letter about some vulgar graffiti that was sprayed on the home next to mine at 1234 Xxxxxxxx Lane in North Port, supposedly by a friend of our tenants. The neighbor is demanding that I paint the exterior of his home. My sympathies go out to the veteran homeowner, but I don't feel that we should have to paint his whole house.
Then there is the fact that perhaps the tenant's friend did not do this? Is there a police report identifying them as the perpetrator? Can someone contact the tenants and get their side of the story, please?
Thanks and regards"
