1. The Curious Case of the Pet Rock Lease Agreement

Picture this: A tenant approaches you with a peculiar request—can they add their beloved pet rock to the Tenancy Agreement? Surprisingly, they’re genuinely concerned about the rock’s well-being and want to ensure it receives the same privileges and considerations as any other pet.

In this comical journey, you, the Landlord, embark on negotiating terms with the tenant for the pet rock’s comfort. Discussions include potential hazards, the need for a cozy rock bed, and, of course, the all-important question of whether the rock is house-trained. As you navigate this peculiar territory, you may find yourself contemplating the perks of having a low-maintenance tenant—literally.

2. The Mystery of the Vanishing Microwave

One day, you receive a perplexing maintenance request: the tenant reports that their microwave has mysteriously vanished. Intrigued and slightly amused, you head over to investigate the disappearance of a kitchen appliance. The tenant insists they left the microwave in its usual spot, but it seems to have vanished into thin air.

As you unravel the mystery, you discover that the tenant’s teenager had borrowed the microwave for a makeshift science experiment involving popcorn and a series of unexpected explosions. The microwave, having valiantly sacrificed itself in the name of science, was later disposed of without a trace.
