He overloaded the washer and yelled at me

O, boy. Here we go again. The newer tenant overloaded the washer and threw it off balance. I didn't quite know what the sound was, and for several minutes I was trying to figure it out then went downstairs. He was by the washer. I asked what was going on, he said he has it handled. He had his hand on the washer and wouldn't let me look in it! He turned it on and I told him if he breaks it, he is never using it again. He says he'll pay for it if it breaks, but he bums smokes off me so how can that be possible. The washer went off balance again and I opened it up and told him to get his clothes out of it. He had several pair of jeans, a terry bathrobe and several other items in it. I was fuming! Yet, he is yelling at me as though I am the one who did something wrong. He brought up the garbage (his job is to take it to the curb and last week he forgot and this week it isn't going to be done because it's too heavy for me to drag so I will have 3 weeks of garbage in my cans now) Anyway, getting back on track, the other day the washer ran almost all day. He lied to me when I asked him about it, because I was thinking there was a toilet leak or something until I went into the basement and realized it was the washer. I just wanted to know why the water was running all day is all, I wasn't mad at him though perplexed he had that much wash to do. So, he is downstairs making noises and yelling for a few hours. I texted him to quit that it is 1 am. He said what do you mean, then whatever followed. I am very upset at the disrespect I am getting in my home, but it never ends. If I tell him to leave, I will need another tenant so I can make my bills. I will more than likely end up in a similar situation, or it could be worse and it has been worse. I hate being upset in my own house about someone in my house. But, if i tell him to leave then I still have yet to fill the space. Then again, his behavior may end up driving the other guy out, and so far he's alright but it's only been a month, I'm sure in another 2-3 months there will be a change because there always is. What would you do in my situation? Please keep me in prayer. I need the money, I would like the peace but apparently I am not going to get it as long as I am in the financial situation I am in.
