In this episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, David Pickron and Scot Aubrey dive into one of the wildest situations a landlord can face. At 12:15 AM, one of David’s tenants sent him a shocking video of a furious downstairs neighbor pounding on their door, yelling profanities, and accusing them of “walking too loudly.” The audio is intense.
