Can you share some funny property management stories?

In a property, the manager organized a community garden. One resident planted what they thought were flowers but turned out to be giant weeds. When they all bloomed, it looked like a wild jungle. Everyone had a good laugh about it.

One success story is the Trump Tower. Their property management focuses on high - end service. They have strict security measures, ensuring the safety of residents and visitors. The building is always clean and well - maintained, with top - notch facilities management. Another example is the Rockefeller Center. The property management there coordinates various events and tenant needs excellently, creating a vibrant commercial and cultural hub.

One property manager had to deal with a tenant who was constantly complaining about the neighbors being too noisy. One day, the manager decided to do a little investigation. It turned out that the 'noisy neighbors' were actually just a couple of squirrels that had gotten into the walls. The manager managed to get the squirrels out and then presented the tenant with a stuffed squirrel toy as a joke, saying it was the 'ringleader' of the noise problem.

Sure. There was a manager who thought a 'team - building' activity would be a paintball fight. But he accidentally booked it at a kids' party venue. So, his serious - looking business team ended up playing with kids. It was chaos but also really funny.

Sure. In one building, the security guards hired by the property management were often asleep at their posts. Burglars took advantage of this and there were several break - ins. The property management didn't take any serious action until the tenants threatened to sue.

A property manager once received a complaint that the elevator smelled like a farm. After investigation, they found out that a tenant had brought in a small goat as an 'emotional support animal' without permission. Another story involves a maintenance guy who got locked in a storage room by accident while looking for some tools. He had to bang on the door for an hour until someone finally heard him. It was quite a scene.

I heard about a property manager who got a complaint about a'monster' in the attic. When he went up there, it was just a big raccoon that had made a nest out of old clothes. It looked really comical.

One funny time management story is about a team at work. They were given a project with a tight deadline. The project manager made a very elaborate schedule. But one of the team members was always late coming to the meetings. He said he was managing his time by working on other things first. But in the end, they all had to scramble at the last minute to finish the project because of his 'time management'. Another story is of a person who planned to exercise for 30 minutes every day. He set his alarm for it. But when the alarm went off, he would find all kinds of excuses like he needed to check his email first or the floor was too cold to do sit - ups on. So he never really got around to exercising regularly.

Sure. One story is about a man who got really angry at his computer for crashing. Instead of yelling, he started doing silly dance moves and talking to the computer like it was a naughty child. He said things like 'You can't make me mad, I'm too cool for that!' and by the end of his little performance, he was laughing and no longer angry.

Sure. There was a manager who decided to have a 'bring your pet to work' day to boost morale. One employee brought a parrot that kept repeating 'deadlines are coming' all day, which made everyone laugh but also subtly reminded them of work. It taught the manager that a little humor in the workplace can keep things light while still getting the work - related message across.
