Landlords and property managers have the potential to experience harassment, threats and even physical violence at the hands of their tenants.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>In the case above, a renter hired a friend to attack her landlord over an ongoing dispute, according to LA Times. Due to the fact that landlords develop personal relationships with their tenants- one where the renter knows the landlord&#8217;s home address and even his schedule- their safety can be at risk if the relationship goes south.<\/p>\n<p>While the situation above is an horrifying example of landlord danger, it is more likely that a landlord will encounter hostile behavior from an unhappy tenant. Hostile tenants use intimidation tactics to harass or threaten their landlord in order to keep a security deposit, live rent-free or otherwise violate a lease agreement.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to be aware of certain safety precautions you can take to protect yourself and your property just in case your landlord-tenant relationship goes south.<\/p>\n<h3>Landlord Safety Precautions<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Don\u2019t give out your home address. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Encourage that your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/features\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">tenants make rent payments online<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get a P.O. Box for tenants to mail checks to. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Try a\u00a0Google Voice number for business calls. It&#8217;s free and prevents your tenants from constantly calling your personal number with complaints or threats. As an added bonus, Google will transcribe all voicemails for you for easier record keeping. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Check your Insurance &#8211;\u00a0An angry tenant poses a real threat to damage your property. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Key things to think about when getting <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2015\/05\/landlord-vs-homeowners-insurance\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">a landlord insurance policy<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> include buildings insurance, contents insurance, emergency assistance, legal fee coverage, and accidental damage.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Screen Your Renters. Tenant screening goes beyond reviewing a tenant\u2019s credit report and criminal background. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2016\/07\/lying-rental-application\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You should verify professional and landlord references<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to find out if the applicant has a history with aggression\u00a0(make sure to google the business and call the online number to make sure they gave you a real reference!).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your tenants start issuing threatening messages or menacing acts to you, here are some ways to manage it professionally.<\/p>\n<h3>What To Do When Your Tenants Threaten You<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Do not threaten back. Keep calm and respond professionally.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Call the Police if you feel threatened or in immediate danger. Having records will help you if you need to go to court.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Ask a witness to be with you during interactions with your tenants. \u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tell the tenant that all communication must be done in writing. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Save all of the texts, emails, and voicemails. You might need them in court someday.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In some cases, a tenant may threaten to take you to court. If your renter claims he will sue you, you can verify the legitimacy of this claim by asking to speak with the attorney they claim is representing them. Get the lawyer\u2019s phone number and give them a call. Lawyers have an ethical obligation to follow the law, and cannot encourage a tenant to pursue a course of action that is not justified. Chances are, the attorney will speak to you more respectfully, making it easier to resolve the problem. \u00a0Ask for information from the attorney in writing.<\/p>\n<p>If your tenant is especially demanding or mean but hasn\u2019t quite moved towards harassing, it is important to establish yourself as the authority in the relationship. Consider this advice from a landlord on a<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrlandlord.com\/landlordforum\/display.php?id=14043498\"> Mr.Landlord.com forum<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I do not put up with verbal or physical abuse. I would draft a letter today and mail it to her certified mail that you are giving notice of lease non-renewal effective TODAY. So even if her lease doesn&#8217;t expire until April, as of TODAY she is aware it is not going to be renewed. No specific reason needs to be given. Just &#8220;your lease which ends xxx will not be renewed. Please be completely moved out and return keys on that date by (whatever time). A move out inspection will follow.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This puts the ball in her court to contact you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Be careful though. This will undoubtedly [upset]\u00a0her something serious. Well whoopee doo. She&#8217;s already angry. But what you do need to do is follow up with a maintenance visit 30-60 days BEFORE the end of the tenancy so you can note damages, repair them, and bill them to the tenant. Don&#8217;t wait until the end to find out how many holes she and her ex-con boyfriend have punched in your walls. There won&#8217;t be enough deposit to cover it, likely. Hire a rough and tough handy man who looks like he leads a biker gang to go over to take care of it. If she refuses to let him in for a scheduled appointment (post time and date on the door in advance, of course), bill her for the service call and reschedule. Rinse, repeat as often as necessary, and keep sending the bills and deducting them from her rent. The day she doesn&#8217;t pay the charges and is short on rent, evict her.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some might call this the perfect recipe to hack off a tenant. She&#8217;s already hacked off. Nothing you can do at this point to change that. I call it, &#8220;taking back control and de-stressing.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you don&#8217;t like my ideas, that&#8217;s fine, but whatever you do, under no circumstances do you answer her hateful texts or phone calls. Do not participate in this kind of childish behavior. &#8211;108.250.xxx.xxx\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.mrlandlord.com\/landlordforum\/display.php?id=14043498\">Mr. Landlord &#8211; Landlord Forum : Abusive Tenant<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember that you have rights when it comes to protecting yourself from negative behavior from your tenants. \u00a0Follow the law, don\u2019t get\u00a0emotional, respond professionally, contact the authorities, have\u00a0a landlord-tenant lawyer on your side, and move forward with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/2016\/06\/legal-eviction\/\">a legal eviction<\/a> if necessary.
