The Modern Mann

Show Notes

Being a landlord means trusting strangers to live in your house. Try as you might, you can't know everything about them. Sometimes, you just have to rely on an instinct that your tenants are good people. Until, that is, you get a knock on the door from the police... That's what happened to listener Ian from Dublin. In this interview with Olly, he re-lives the moment he became involved in an armed Police sting - and began to regret renting out his property. This interview first aired in July 2017, in the episode, 'The Accidental Pimp' Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
