Tenant calling 911 excessively out of spite

Matt Liu

I have a problem tenant above me in my own house. They have become not only rude but spiteful because I am taking them to court for non payment and because they are just extortionist harassing awful people who abuse their daughter (I inherited when I moved into this rehab). It's very uncomfortable. Lately they have been calling 911 and making totally unsubstantiated claims about how "awful landlord I am". No evidence just rantings. They think this will help them in court I guess, and hurt me for the future, which I guess brings them satisfaction.

Is it true that all these police reports, although totally fact-less, will hurt my landlord reputation either with the court, the city, or in the records when selling my home?

Thanks

@Matt Liu What concerns me is that you wrote they abuse their daughter, and mention nothing else about it. If someone is honestly abusing a child, then you have an obligation to report them to the Police. If, because of the 911 calls the Police won't deal with it, call CPS. 

As to the other calls, you should call the Police Dept and tell them that they are calling and making false accusations to harass you, and the PD should tell them to stop misusing the emergency call system.
