Tenant and neighbor issues

Riley Holt
Posted

Hello all!

I’ve got a tenant in a rental that is not in the best part of town. She keeps having issues with the neighbor. They have a bunch of dogs that keep getting in her yard. There is suspected drug activity over there. There are bunch of people coming and going that relate to aforementioned potential drug activity. I’ve called the police on several occasions to increase patrol in the area. 

My question is what do I do from a landlord standpoint? When renting to her I did not sugar coat the neighborhood and I didn’t have any real issues with the previous tenants. The tenant has been good but she it at her wits end dealing with the neighbors. I just don’t know what I can or should do to attempt to remedy this situation. I’ve talked to the neighbor a few times but she denies any wrongdoing or any nefarious activity. Any suggestions would be appreciated. 

Thanks all in advance. 

Riley

Have any of the other neighbors complained or had issues with your next door neighbor? If police hasn't increased patrol when you ask, that's a tricky one.
