When you've reached out to him about the situation, have you mentioned your female tenant's uneasiness with what is going on?

Exactly my thoughts. You the owner need to communicate with his stepdad/guardian directly and clearly: the noise issue is easily addressed by daddy dear (smaller speakers, headphones, a timer/lock that shuts off the music after a certain time.

But the tendency to inadvertently accost other people is potentially life-threatening for this not-so-young man. Daddy-o may be unaware that his lusting after the neighbor has crossed the line into actual physical contact unwanted by the lady.

With folks having developmental delay, the ultimate goal is independent living. That is why he's living on his own.

And I get your point, but lets not assume that the guy is just lusting after the girl. He may very well be, but the hugs and gifts are more a sign of not understanding acceptable social boundaries. But you're absolutely right, his ignorance to this could indeed get him hurt by people who misunderstand his motives, which is why you're doing him no favors by not saying anything.

You've got a great opportunity to be an advocate here. Your tenant, the disabled tenant, the other tenants in the units...We're all just trying to be happy in the time we spend here before we get to our ultimate destination.

I think this is the right way to handle it from both a financial and human perspective. Good luck man.

I have spoken to him about it several times. The kids behavior gets better for a short while then reverts back. She has dogs and as such goes out with them giving him more opportunity for engagement.
I do not understand how the kid needs daycare, but not night. He had a roommate for a while.
at first the tenant would engage the kid, now she blows by him without acknowledging.
She did text me at 3am about the noise.
I do not want to lose her as she has made improvements at no cost to me and the place looks fabulous.
