- An employee may, with discretion, decide that an emergency with regard to a tenant or tenants warrants appropriate steps for the best interests of all involved. This could include, but is not limited to a medical emergency, a fire emergency, or any other health or safety issue. Any direct cost incurred on behalf of the tenant is the responsibility of the tenant.
