How do I resolve disputes among tenants

Question

Shalom to all.I did a quarterly inspection to one of my properties yesterday and while I was there, the tenant informed me that the third person on the lease for said property (3 people used to live there but one moved out without taking there name off the lease) comes and goes as she pleases and threatens to call the cops (can legally do so) if not allowed access to the property even though she doesn't live there anymore.I've dealt with similar situations before by having them sign a lease termination form, since the remaining tenants can more than cover the rent. The problem in this particular scenario is that the tenant in question has personal problems with the other two tenants, is not on speaking terms with them and now refuses to sign any release.Sorry for the long wording but I really nees to nip this in the bud before it gets any worse.Any tips guys?

The LL is not a coach for Anger Management - - don't get involved if it's SFR.  If it's a MFU, then inform all that disruption is a cause for termination and you WILL enforce Peacefull Enjoyment  even if that results in eviction.

You are not Dr phil!!!

If there is nothing wrong with the property and they have not disturbed anyone, let them be for now. When the lease comes up, the you can address the issue with all parties. Depending on California law, maybe you don't have to renew the third tenant if the other two can qualify on their own. Please be careful of violating and fair housing issues
