I had a nightmare experience living at the Old Colony Apartments in Arlington, MA. Only 6 weeks into living there, a schizophrenic tenant experiencing a psychotic episode accused me of "hiding" a girl (maybe a previous tenant?) he was obsessed with in my apartment, and told me he needed to get into my unit to see her. He was insistent that I was hiding this person (I live alone), and he told me he knew which door was my unit, so I had to treat this as a serious threat. He also ranted about Jewish people and demanded to know if I was Jewish or not. He sped away from the police when they arrived but was later detained, then released a day or two later. I later learned that there is some program that helps patients with psychiatric issues move into these apartments (obviously, I NEVER would have moved there if I knew this beforehand). I am a huge supporter of improving mental health care and I feel very bad for this man, but this was an extremely alarming situation that could have easily turned into something much worse. As far as I know, the property manager has no interest in taking any meaningful action. The property manager even refused to pay me back for the second half of the month's rent when I had already moved out due to this safety concern. The fact that they do not have to notify other tenants that there is an antisemitic schizophrenic man confronting other residents about his hallucinations should concern any prospective tenant. read more
