Tenant in SFH leaving because of neighbor harassment
Tenants with kids in a nice SFH are intending to vacate because the neighbor across the street has been yelling profanities at their kids. Tenant was told by police to file a restraining order, but they're just leaving. I suspect even having an attorney send a cease & desist letter would have little effect.
I'm losing a great tenant because of this neighbor, & I'm afraid of this situation happening again if I re-rent.
I suspect the neighbor has a mental health issue. I did see him a few years ago playing music very loud as he was working in his front yard. I haven't met the family.
I'm half considering selling. In any case, if re-renting or selling, what is my legal obligation to disclose?
How would you handle this situation?
