Hello,
I have tenants living in a property with dog. Due to the job timings and restriction, tenant has to leave the dog home. Everyday tenant's friend leashes the log outside for few hours. During the outside time, dog feces left behind until tenant comes from work. After coming from work, tenant picks up the feces. Now tenant's neighbor has complained to the township and township has sent me notice asking for remediation otherwise there will be court action due to health issues. I warned the tenant to comply with this and make sure to pick up dog feces daily. So tenant agreed to that warning and it's been followed since then. Recently I went to rental property to fix some issues. Tenant's neighbor directly approached me regarding this dog feces issues so I politely told that I will re-warn tenant and if he has other issue then he can call me and I exchanged phone number. After that incident, next weekend that neighbor started calling me and threatening me that I remove the tenant from the property otherwise he will take me to the court on this health issue. He knows someone from political party and he will take his help to take me to court. Can you please help me what is my fault here and what are my options on this threat from tenant's neighbor? I will really appreciate your advice on this.
Thank you.
