    Roommate harassment issues

    Hi Dan As you stated above regarding "It isn't your problem" I fully agree regarding room mates squabbles, I usually tell them to deal with it themselves, otherwise you're a mitigator and your life gets hectic as well. I never get involved in the tenants issues with each other unless it...
