TIRE: Property romance, parts 1 and 2

Story 1:
Mysteriously, single women were leaving our property at an alarming rate. The property was well-lit, conveniently located, and freshly rehabbed. No incidents had recently occurred and rents were not escalating.

On a whim, the RPM drove to the property and happened to catch one of the departing residents on her way to the store. They had a pleasant conversation about the neighborhood, the rents, and the property, but when asked about the staff, the resident hesitated. Finally, she stated “I’m just not that interested in them.”

Confused, the regional asked for clarification.

The resident replied with that everyone-knows-this tone that strikes fear into RPMs and asset managers: “I’ve told [the manager] repeatedly that I’m not interested in dating [the service manager] and neither are the other women here.”

Job postings went up that afternoon.

Story 2:
The regional property manager and the asset manager are reviewing monthly numbers when an ‘urgent call’ is sent through.

Caller: “Do you have a sex policy at Hidden Pines of Oak Hill?”
RPM: “A what?”
Caller: “A harassment or romance policy for your employees?”
RPM: “Absolutely. All of our employees are required to take classes on it regularly.”
Caller: “Then you need to remind that [unprintable adjective] manager about it and tell her to stay away from my husband!”
