Neighbor is trespassing and scaring tenants...next steps?

Joe Meares

Hi guys!

Question on handling strange neighbor behavior. One of my tenants is a young family and a neighbor has scared the stay at mom a few times by randomly showing up in their back yard, I think a fence would solve (most of) the problem, but I’m wondering if any of you have dealt with this in another less expensive way that worked well.

And yes, I learned my lesson about buying homes on this particular block :)

Thanks!

Joe

@Dennis M. That is a typical male reaction. Of course you would not feel threatened. Women live in a completely different world. How many men are raped each year? Any man who does not understand boundaries is scary as hell to females. Who likes to be scared? Put up a fence or $100 metal security door. This is not the last tenant to have a problem with this, or this neighbor, guaranteed.
