A landlord found himself in a difficult situation when his tenant, an ex-coworker, stopped paying rent. With the current laws in his country preventing eviction, the landlord sought advice from his lawyer brother. He decided to take a bold step by removing the locks from the doors of the rental property, hoping to scare the tenant into paying. The tenant eventually resumed payments, but not without accusing the landlord of putting his family’s safety at risk.
