State Specific Question About: FLORIDA (FL)
I received a call from office manager (condominium complex) stating that my tenant has disturbed other tenants with a loud party on a weekend that lasted until midnight. I contacted my tenant and he denies having a party on that particular weekend. Tenant has been in my unit for nine months and the noise/disturbing other tenants is the only incident. What is the best way to handle this situation where parties involved (tenant, office manager, other tenants and landlord) can resolve the issue without escalation. --70.188.xxx.xxx |

I believe your tenant There may be another issue with your tenant and the complainant. Ask your tenant if there have been any angry words exchanged with another tenant about anything and also ask about parking to see if tenant's car or a friend's car parked in another tenants favorite spot Then you will know who complained.
Do nothing. I don't feel that this is real. Complaining about noise is about the biggest complaint one can make to make the manager do something to contact you. --73.33.xxx.xxx |

What Gevans said. Don't do anything based on he said/she said, especially when it sounds unlikely - after 9 months him living there all of a sudden he had loud party...something else is going on. --24.74.xxx.xx |

I just make note of the complaint and do nothing. People have things to celebrate occasionally, and one louder party is not worth doing anything. Now if there are more complaints and more parties, the police should be called. They can evaluate at the time and take of a warning. Too many police calls and tenant does not get renewal. --71.164.xx.xxx |

No multiple calls to office manager. Complainant stated to office manager that my tenant has had other parties but this is the complainant first complaint regarding my tenant to office manager. No police report. My tenant has stated that other tenant(s) have parked in his assigned parking space on multiple occasions. Unfortunately, it seems that there may be an issue of tenant(s) not getting along. From the response to my question, then I take no action ( warning letter) unless there is a police report? --70.188.xxx.xxx |

You have no way to know if the tenant is telling the truth or not. I would just tell them "This is the first complaint I've gotten about you and I have no idea if it is valid or not, but I can't be put into a bad situation with the condo office. If I continue to get complaints, I'll have to appease them by moving you out."
That puts the onus on them to make the complaints stop. If there was no party, but they've pissed off some other tenant, they'll know that and they'll have to make up with the person. Otherwise they can go to the condo office and explain what is going on. Either way, it is out of your hands until you get another complaint. --64.197.xx.xx |

I take it that you are the owner of the condominium, and occupant is your tenant.
If I were you, I would stay out of the matter, to the extent that you can. While the condo rules probably make you responsible for the tenants' behavior, They cannot enforce any punitive action against you without due process.
I would put suggest to the tenant to put together documentation of his side of the story (no such party, therefore no such noise, therefore no such violation) and you should respond to the Association with this documentation. Include in your response an acknowledgement of your willingness to enforce the condo rules, but that there seems to be a question about what happened here.

Montse,
Ummmm....Landlording 101, Chapter 1, page 1: TENANTS LIE.
I'm with Dan MA on this. Send a warning letter.
Yes, it is your responsibility to do something. The office manager has documented that he/she gave YOU a warning so they are building a case against you if needed. True or not YOU have been put on notice.
I see no reason why a manager would spend the time and effort to call you about something that did not really happen. The noise may or may not have been loud, but I believe the complaint was real, and THAT's what counts.
My Drive-By form letter says
"Dear Resident,
This is a simple form letter to let you know we received a complaint from a neighbor or city inspector about
___ Noise
___ Grass too high
___ Trash in yard
etc etc
We ask your cooperation to fix this problem immediately before the complainer or city inspectors call again or impose fines.
We will return in one week to verify. Please text a photo to us to show completion."
