My partner got a 1 week work from home exemption (she did have to fly back up, yes) because she couldn't find a place to rent in Wellington. I told her to put me down as her fake 'landlord' reference. She panicked, but I assured her it would be fine.
Within an hour, I got a call from the property manager. I talked my ass off for five whole minutes. Pretty sure I gave the best 'landlord' reference they've ever heard.
The worst part was when that property manager asked me, "So do you think you'll be returning the bond?"
I was confused. "Of course! Why wouldn't I?"
I shit you not, that property manager literally answered, "Damn."
Anyway, within 2 minutes of talking to her 'landlord', my partner got a call saying that they're offering her the rental.
NO RULES IN LIFE. GO OUT THERE AND DO CRIMES.
