Despite only renting for two months, this tenant's aggressive behavior is creating a hostile living environment for other residents.Specific Issues:He complains about our lack of notice when entering the property during our own move, despite prior notification.He has moved items around the house without permission.His communication has been condescending and confrontational.He installed a surveillance camera in a common area, violating the lease agreement.He banged on the door because he couldn't use the smartlock code properly.Considered Actions:We plan to serve him with a notice to vacate.We are considering having a constable with us when we serve him the notice.Questions:Should we just give him warnings considering that his actions may not improve?
