This is not a typical Property Couch episode.

In this urgent and important conversation, Ben steps in as Chair of the Property Investors Council of Australia (PICA) to unpack a real-life case that highlights what can happen when the balance between landlord and tenant rights breaks down.

After seeing a confronting story in the media, Ben sits down with investor Dan Yeats to hear firsthand what unfolded — a 13-month ordeal involving unpaid rent, repeated tribunal delays, and a property left in devastating condition.

But this isn’t just about one story. It raises bigger questions about the system, the unintended consequences of legislation, and what needs to change moving forward.

With a key petition closing next week, this episode is a call to understand the issue — and take action if you feel strongly about it.
