The short answer
Prioritize safety, separate verified facts from competing accounts and address specific conduct through a consistent process. A landlord should not promise to adjudicate every personal dispute between residents.

Assess urgency first
For immediate danger, use the appropriate emergency response. For non-emergency complaints, gather dates, conduct and supporting information without arranging a confrontation or spreading private allegations.
Apply the relevant rules
Review noise, access, harassment or other provisions and applicable law. Consider mediation only where appropriate and voluntary; it should not replace necessary safety action or required procedures.
Example: conflicting noise reports
Both residents accuse the other. Keep separate factual records and seek reliable information before concluding which rule, if any, was breached. Avoid issuing contradictory promises to each household.
