Tenant issues with neighbor

[Nupur Daruka]

Hi I own a rental apartment in an HOA complex that is rented out to a person who is part of state funded DDS program. I have no issues with the tenant, the caretaker pays the rent on time. The neighbors in the apartment do not like him and there is lot of drama with him and the neighbors both on the side and upstairs. Now the police is also getting called sometimes by neighbor and sometimes by my tenant. I am a bit worried since the unit is part of HOA. What should I do? I will definitely not renew the lease, the lease renewal is in March. If the tenant was to leave they have two month penalty as part of the early termination, but it is hard to find a tenant after October until March as people move during the spring and summer time. I already had a one month vacancy when this tenant moved in and my earlier tenant just walked away and broke the lease. Any ideas as to how I should approach.

You don't actually say what the nexus of their problems is. They don't get along; great! But why? He's loud, rude disruptive? Either the neighbor or the tenant could be the problem, but you could only try to fix the issues with your tenant if they're actually causing the problem. Otherwise there's really nothing you can do since you can't get rid of the neighbor, and if the tenant isn't doing anything wrong you have to abide by the lease.
