Here's One For You - "I found out the house is Haunted" Tenant

Haha alright, tenant says he has to talk to me about a reading he had done on the place. I was unsure what "a reading" was? He informed me that a lady came out to do a reading and found out the place is haunted... bad. Spirit in the bottom unit in the form of an older man and a child in the top unit, and thought I needed to let the tenant in the bottom know.

I am a pretty open-minded guy but I found it somewhat funny. I tried to explain that their business model wouldn't work very well if they told their customers that the place is ghost free - tough to sell the follow up full cleanse on non-haunted places. They are great tenants and good-hearted people so not complaining or anything just wondering if anyone else has had this happen lol.

Hit them with an "Unauthorized Occupant" notice and demand the additional residents be removed within 72 hours.

Seriously, just let it go. I've had tenants demand they be released from a lease because of ghosts. That's their issue and I don't deal with drama. I provide them with instructions for breaking the lease which includes a hefty penalty.
