Domestic violence

[Stone Teran]

I always try to maintain the philosophy that my tenants deserve privacy unless they are damaging the premises and hurting other tenants.

I also have regretted whenever I've stuck my nose past that line and tried to give them advice.

Domestic violence is a tricky one though because they aren't damaging the premises or (usually) disturbing other tenants.  In the past month, I've seen:

1. She ran out and told me to call 911.  He ran out and grabbed the phone out of her hand.  I called 911 and let the police handle it.

2. Different tenants:  My employee saw him pull her inside while grabbing her arm and her hair.  She said help and he didn't call 911.  He didn't hear anything after they went inside.  I think they left by the time I heard about it.  I don't think I want to talk to him about it.

What's your general philosophy on how to handle this type of stuff??
