It is not the landlord responsibilityIt is not the landlord's responsibility to become a mediator for disputes between two tenants. This is the reason why we have courts and police.

∙ 7y agoThe first step a landlord should always take is to have a detailed lease that details the rules and expected behavior that promotes a peaceful and safe environment. Complaints should be mediated when they arise- before the situation becomes more serious. In cases of serious threats, harassment or violence, legal action might be necessary to ensure the safety and well-being of your tenants. When the landlord cannot resolve the situation she should contact an attorney to file an eviction. At this step the lease becomes very important since the attorney can highlight the failures to follow the terms of the lease as a reason for the eviction.
