Police Visits Related to Suicidal Text Messages from Tenant

[Christopher Freeman]

Hello,

We have a tenant who has on two occasions sent suicide related text messages to our local police department, causing them to dispatch to the property, which is a 6 unit. The police on both occasions have knocked at the wrong apartment and freaked out the girls who are living there.

I'm not sure how I should be responding to this as the landlord. Obviously I hope my tenant is okay and want him to get help, but I'm not sure where the legal lines are in terms of my involvement in this. 

He is renting just a room in an apartment which he shares with 2 other tenants who were there before him. I need to make sure that their needs are being looked after as well.

I know he has fair housing rights relating to mental illness, but does that prevent me from discussing the situation with him or with his mother (who co-signed his lease). What would be an appropriate scope for that conversation if it does happen?

Thank you in advance...
