Tenants not getting along

[Dennis Callaghan]

Hello BP, I could use some help here on what my legal responsibilities are. I rent to college student here in NY State and an arguement has ensued over a desk between two tenants in which one said they owned it and let the other borrow temporarily and the other is claiming it was given to them. I was sent a text with screen shots of their arguement by the female tenant from the male tenant and it was alot of name calling and cussing but no line was crossed from either one of them ina threatening matter. The female who sent me these has know said she feels uncomfortable living with him now. Is this my responsibility? I can easily enough talk to them although I feel I am not their parent and they are now adults. Thank you.

Don't get involved in matters that don't pertain to you or the property. You're not their parent. They can figure this out on their own. Simply respond that it's a personal matter and you're not getting involved.

If she is no longer comfortable living with him, she needs to figure out how to get comfortable or buy her way out of the lease. Again, it's not your problem.
