why does everything happen at once?

edenfallingWe had a bunch of problem tenant issues today (or problem would-be-tenant, in one case).
1. Fake!FBI guy had been doing relatively okay since his lengthy hospital stay, but is now backsliding. He's asked about our policy toward him buying some guns and a gun safe. He's waved a sword wildly around in the communal lounge, scaring one of our cleaning staff. (The sword was later revealed to be a LARPing prop, but it reportedly looks extremely realistic.) He's once again treating the lounge as an extension of his own private space: storing expensive gaming equipment there, having a friend sleep overnight on the sofa, and making out with someone on the sofa so intensely (as in, partially undressed) that one of our maintenance staff had to call for advice on whether or not to break them up, etc.
We thought for a bit that he might break the lease and leave early -- he gave a 30-day notice! -- but then he changed his mind and retracted that. *sigh*
I have a feeling he's going to keep escalating.
2. A long-term tenant has either gone off his meds or is having trouble with dosages/efficacy, and has started behaving in ways that are extremely disruptive to his neighbors. (I am 100% sure he doesn't mean to be disruptive, but at the moment I would not live in an apartment next to him if you paid me.) He has also accused one of his relatives of stealing millions both from him and from the federal government, which sure is a strong claim. His family are trying to get him to accept medical help but he's intermittently paranoid when unmedicated, so that's not going over terribly well. I feel terrible about all that because this tenant is a genuinely lovely person when he's on his meds.
3. A former tenant who moved out a couple years ago wants to rent from us again, but in the interim period he has been banned from several local businesses for verbally and physically assaulting floor staff, which is not a great sign.
He also wants to move in ASAP but refuses to provide us any proof of employment or other income source, OR to provide a rental reference from wherever he's been living since he moved out of our building, and gets belligerent when we remind him these are necessary parts of our application process. This is, to say the least, somewhat concerning -- especially because he had no trouble with those steps when he applied previously -- and I'm a little worried he may come to our office and try to start a fight.
...
Other than that, I spent most of my day working on floor plans. I have finished all the individual apartment plans for the large 5-story building, and am now working on building-wide key plans for the large 4-story building.
