This situation created by landlord and A and B is a dangerous and stupid mix. Landlord still thinks stove top is absent mindedness although B told landlord that A has done this several times.
Why didn't landlord fully screen the new potential tenant B?
Lawyer. And get yourself a sufficient amount of property management training now.

How would anyone screen someone for leaving on the stove burner? Please tell me what screening test will provide that kind of information? Tenant B has a job, did not show signs of mental illness, drives a car, has an education and is able to hold a conversation. Both Tenant A and Tenant B are just normal average folks. And correction Tenant A told Landlord that Tenant B has been absentminded and left on the burner in the past. Again, Please tell me what screening test will provide that kind of information?

You have several new facts/bits of information in this last post. This forum pertains to screening potential tenants and the managing of the landlord/tenant relationship. When rental situations become uncomfortable and you find yourself with divided loyalties it doesn't help the landlord to ignore a bad situation or make excuses for a tenant. I hope it works out for you.
