Tenant of rooming house destructive and violent, next steps
Very Early Morning All,
So here's the situation (In Ohio). I have a tenant that is thrashing and screaming in her room. As you can imagine this is scaring the other roommates. She does periodically come out and destroy something minor. The police have been called and she has been picked up by an ambulance. This has happened twice. Each time I reach out and talk to her she seems okay. They don't keep her at the hospital and just release her back. Just got a voicemail at 1:00 a.m. and she's at it again, third time. No I didn't get the voicemail because I was sleeping.
I'm worried for her safety and those of the other tenants.
Any ideas of next steps would be greatly appreciated. Yes I'm going to call a lawyer but it is 4:00 a.m. and I will probably post notice for her to vacate. But I was wondering if there is anything to be done in the meantime because it does take a while to evict and she may easily hurt herself by then.
Steve
