Two Stories Regarding Disrespect of Privacy and Admited Criminal Acts

Both of these stories are involve two tenants, Tenant A and Tenant B, who are both neighbors which had been on rather poor terms. It was after these following events that the two tenants got to be on amicable terms and shared the information herein. One of the tenants was unavailable so I wasn't able to corroborate the story with her.

That said, the tenant who told me these stories is asserts that they happened and that she was told the truth by her neighbor. As soon as the other tenant becomes available I'll try to check the veracity-until then I'm leaving this statement as a caveat.

Store One: Disrespect of Privacy

Tenant A had filled out an application for an apartment in San Diego that she was considering; in this application, the Management or Manager at the Falls at Montrose was listed as a reference for Tenant A. At some point the apartment management from San Diego must have called the Falls to check to verify the tenant's qualities and status. The Manager construed that Tenant A had intended on moving out.

In a conversation with Tenant B, the Manager mentioned that Tenant A would be moving to San Diego (or that she would be possibly be moving to San Diego) in the context of the dispute between both the Tenants. Tenant B had not known this as Tenant A had not told anyone at the Falls that she had applied to another apartment.

Later, Tenant B mentioned it to Tenant A who was incredibly surprised that her confidence and expectation of privacy was betrayed.

Story Two: Manager Claims to Have Vandalized Tenant A's car

In another conversation with Tenant B, the Manager made two claims:

1. That they had peed on Tenant A's car
2. That they had put something in the gas tank of Tenant A's car to ruin it

While it's unlikely that either of these happened (in fact, Tenant A says their vehicle's gas tank door can only be operated from within the car) and that the Manager was being serious, this in no way appropriate. Moreover, the Manager was aware of the dispute between the two tenants and a joke like this is in no way constructive in mediating the dispute. As much as the Manager can claim to have been joking or acting in the capacity of a friend, there's no way to ignore her role as the property manager and the responsibility she has of resolving tenant issues.

In short in these two stories, the Manager not only violated a tenant's expectation of privacy but tastelessly joked about vandilzing property.
