Tenant's guest damages both units and common area in tantrum invo

Zachary D.
Posted

Tenant is an older man with limited visibility; already in the unit on a M2M lease. Left his unit unlocked today and his crazy woman friend came in and next think you know I'm hearing her and her girlfriend screaming and fighting, etc. Called police after hearing things breaking.

After I give police the address I ascend to the 2nd unit where the action is. I tell them I've called the police and that they need to leave. Not sure if I can do that or not but I did. One of the crazy women leaves, breaking a window and slamming a storm door clearly with the intent to break it. She knocked holes in tenant's walls, a couple holes in common area, broke a small window on other unit, and even threw over a couple of trashcans in the alley behind the house.

I obviously need to have a talk with my tenant. Noted. We're also going to have a new lease with guest limits, locking-door-required, etc. But what about the crazy people? Is there anything I can do to ban these two individuals from my property again? A restraining order or something like that? Police told me to speak with tenant but didn't really suggest any recourse for me personally. I didn't ask tbh, was a little overwhelmed with everything going on. Can I draw up a lease that says (more professionally, of course) "Jane Doe cannot be on property anymore since that clown messed up my house"?

EDIT - Home is in Milwaukee, WI
