Maintenence man
Ive never run across this situation and Im concerned if any laws were broken or if we are in a postion for a lawsuit?
Sceanrio:
I had this single mother tenant for over 10 yrs. She has a 13 yr old daughter. The Mother recently met a guy and they became a couple. We have a very nosy maintenence guy and he mentioned to me that he noticed a guy at the tenants apartment a lot. Well I just blew it off knowing full well its not my business. ( I only get involved if thier are behavior issues with a tenants boy/girl friends.)
The maintenence worker without my knowledge or permission approached the daughter (13 yr old) telling her she was in danger of being raped or molested by the new guy and asking many many questions. It really scared the daughter. Needless to say she told her mother and she called me immediately... furious about the questioning and the comments of this worker. Ive known her so long that I was able to calm her down and eventually had a in person meeting with her and she agreed to squash the situation but im still very nervous about this scenario. What can happen? What should I do?
Im angry, confused ...wondering if we may have a situation here. Please advise
