Tenants intimidating neighbors

[Eric Zawadski]

Hey everyone. I just got a phone call from a neighbor to one of my rentals. He said that one of my new tenants (they have been in there for 1 month) has been intimidating him. It was hard to hear him but it seemed like he was talking to the new tenants girlfriend and my new tenant went into his house and told him not to talk to her. He mentioned something else about the tenant saying something rude to his father and possibly his kids. 

These new tenants seemed very nice when I screened and interviewed them. The boyfriend seemed a little distant, they had recently lost their young child. I'm sure there are emotional pains that I can't imagine that they're going through.

Regardless, they should most certainly not be intimidating their neighbors. I am pretty certain that in this situation I should thank my neighbors for calling me and suggest that if they think it is warranted, call the police. I am not really sure where the line should be drawn between the tenant, landlord, neighbor relationship here. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
