Male owner mental breakdown 1am

Male owner 1am banging on the door I sleep, screaming my name.
Ranting about me I think I am big cause I have lots of money, saying he is my boss. Pushing an alarm to call police.
I said I happily go, only repay remaining day that is not used. He said it was paid, I say not, show me. He could not, and walk away in shame.
I then ask the guard, what was the problem with this man,.
I was told he was angry for me turning off a lamp (cause I enjoy sleeping in darkness).
Himself had said some days before, cause lights were kept on in one room and I wanted to change room cause of this, that "after tonight no lamps will be turned on, no need to change room".
Anyway handling a simple matter as this 1am kicking me out night time, I think relates to deeper issues concerning running the establishment and his frustrations of so.
Revenge belongs to God.
For me, someone disturbing me sleeping, is sacred as if being disturbed doing prayers, unless a life threatening situation, they have no respect for life.
