Conflict among tenants in rooming house

Carlos Lez
Posted

So, I have a 4 bedroom house and have a student tenant in each of the rooms. This evening I received the following email where the tenant is alleging me for racial discrimination and threatening to lodge a complaint against me. I am seeking the help of fellow members to respond to this email (if you deem it necessary). If you can suggest what to write that would be great.

For context, these are student renters. It appears one person is an ultra clean freak and he retained the services of some cleaners and this other person hasn't paid his share. How am I involved in this? He is playing the racism card to tried and rope me in and I want to be sure I steer clear of this by responding appropriately.

For the sake of neutrality I will just substitute terms "person origin A" and "person origin B" in his message below:

"Your new tenant is harassing me.

I have been in contact with your office that I am going through economic hardship, which already feels invasive.

Your new tenant purchased services and I told him I will notify him when the balance can be paid and he is making my living here an unbearable nuisance.

Him feeling privileged to consistently harass me feels like it is due to me being the only person of non-A origin/heritage resident in this residence. This does not feel like equal treatment if I was the same as him.

He said you told them I was moving out and it feels like I am being pushed to moved out and am experiencing housing discrimination.

This is a notice that I’ll be submitting a complain about my living experience in your residence."
