Inherited tenant with mental illness

I’ve my second duplex under contract. When I went to look at the units I discovered one tenant had tin foil all over the windows and walls. I am a former social worker and have sympathy for this individual but this is my business. Should I be concerned?

I think monitoring it is good for now and once it becomes an issue if it does then take action. Legally I don't think there is anything you could do as of now to mitigate the issue. We had a tenant at an apartment building similar to this one and was never an issue. Unit was a burden to turn when she did move but other than that was fine.
