My tenant’s moving out because neighbor threw fireworks at her

[Account Closed]

My tenant informed me today that she’s moving out because she doesn’t feel safe anymore. The neighbor tenant shot large fireworks from his yard directly over into/above my property, and when she walked over to ask him to stop, before she said anything, he threw fireworks over his fence directly at her.

She called cops, report was taken, cops left, then neighbor came down my property’s driveway and threatened my tenant. She left to sleep at a friend’s house, and when she returned in the morning, her front door was broken into and evidence of fireworks was left in my yard on the grass. (She rents land and lives in her own tiny house on wheels.)

Now she’s too afraid to live there and is moving out. Cop said that neighbor’s threatening is grounds for 24 hour eviction. Neighbor is on probation for drunk driving and has a record of battery. The landlord says his tenant has always been courteous and friendly and doesn’t believe that his tenant threatened my tenant and doesn’t seem to want to evict.

I’m concerned about potential future losses (both income and property damage) and want neighbor tenant evicted.

What can I do? Damage happened to my tenant’s property (her tiny house on wheels) but it could have started a fire. I also am suffering income losses as a result. What could I do that would compel the landlord to evict?

@Account Closed This is a sticky situation. Remind the tenet that this isn't grounds to break the lease, and that there is a process to get rid of people like the next door neighbor. comfort her and tell her the police will take care of it and if it needs to get civil urge her to take action. Remind her to follow up with the police about the incident and check with the department to see if your tenet can get on a patrol list. This maybe enough to comfort her. Hope that helps!
