Being a landlord isn’t always about leases, rent checks, and property management—it’s about people. In this deeply personal episode of the Rent Perfect Podcast, host David Pickron and co-host Scot Aubrey discuss one of the hardest situations David has ever faced in over 30 years of landlording: evicting an elderly tenant who lost her home, her money, and possibly her ability to live independently. What do you do when your role as an investor collides with your heart as a human being? How do you balance compassion with protecting your property? When does helping cross into becoming a caretaker? This episode dives into the moral dilemmas landlords rarely talk about—from navigating Adult Protective Services to managing family estrangements, unpaid rent, and the crushing weight of being labeled “the villain” when tough decisions must be made. Whether you’re a new landlord, a seasoned investor, or someone simply curious about the human side of property management, this story will challenge how you think about responsibility, compassion, and business.
