Help Responding to Tenant after Non-Renewal

[Monica Morff]

I’m writing here regarding wording for a tenant. We have a tenant who has generally paid on time, but she lives in a duplex and is rude, aggressive, and disruptive to us as well as the other tenant. The other tenant started looking to move because of her and we made the decision to non-renew as she is on month-to-month because we would rather lose the rude tenant than the good one. 

Well, she got the notice today and has started asking why, etc. We are in a state that doesn’t require a reason so we just said that we were considering going a different direction with the property but we appreciate her time with us as a tenant. Well, she apparently went and asked the other tenant if she got the same non-renewal notice to which the other tenant told her that she did not. Now, the aggressive tenant is asking us why we did not non-renew the other tenant as well. Obviously, this is none of her business, but I have no idea what to say! Any tips? 

She is also asking for money to pay for the landscaping she did (that she did not ask permission for) because she cannot dig up her flowers and get her landscaping timber in the winter. Ridiculous.  

Anyway, any help or tips from others who have been there is appreciated!
