Ever found yourself chuckling at the thermostat wars waged in office corridors? On today's pod, Cleo, a battle-scarred property manager, joins me to trade tales that'll have you in stitches—think of it as the side of property management that never makes the brochure. We're talking about the capricious quest for the ideal office temperature and the darkly humorous world of tenant-landlord spats that escalate to the point of needing a referee. Cleo even shares the scoop on a landlord who lugged a dirty carpet to a tribunal as evidence—just one of the wacky stories we've got lined up. So, strap in for a session of storytelling that reveals the bizarre underbelly of our profession and why a paper trail can be your best friend or worst enemy.

If you thought property management was all about keys and contracts, brace yourself for an episode that proves it's more akin to a daytime drama. We relive the drama of a tribunal skirmish so intense, it had us enlisting security guards for future meetings. The passion in property disputes can indeed run high—something the pros at the New South Wales Civil and Administrative Tribunal know all too well. Join Cleo and me as we pay homage to these unsung heroes and exchange experiences from the wilder side of property management, where the gavel's bang is often just the prelude to the real show.
