Pre-pandemic, OP, an audiologist, lost a government job.

To work independently, OP sold stocks, secured financing, and found a downtown property for practice and extra income.

The building, a former garage, featured giant bay doors transformed into walls of windows. OP loved its modern, Scandinavian feel.

“I have a meeting here,” I began. Ignoring, she threatened to call the police

As a tenant for two months, OP kept interactions mostly polite. Megan, the costume shop owner, expressed displeasure. OP assured parking arrangements with the owner and set boundaries politely.

The parking lot, part of OP’s building purchase, has 60 spaces for 5 units.

Megan insists on one space per tenant, but OP disregards her. OP later becomes the building owner.

Megan got furious.

OP reorganized the parking lot.

OP assigned spaces for each unit and introduced 15-minute loading spots.

Megan, upset about the changes, expresses anger for not being consulted.

OP parked legally on a privately owned sidewalk patch for unloading. Megan had OP’s car towed, causing frustration. OP warned of adding expenses to Megan’s rent.

OP confronted the tow company for towing without authorization. Despite arguments, OP paid and retrieved the car, leaving with a desire for revenge.

OP sees that the car is gone.

Suspecting Megan of selling parking, OP scrutinized security tapes, finding unaccounted vehicles tied to her. Megan was selling parking at $125/month, explaining her business.

OP confronted a parker, revealing ownership and questioning payments.

Rather than confrontation or eviction, OP hired a security company to monitor and enforce parking, causing discontent among Megan’s customers.

Megan lays low for a while. During COVID, I legally allowed tenants to use the garage door space, benefitting everyone except Megan.

Megan calls the police daily for COVID violations, angered by garage space use.

Fed up, OP didn’t renew her lease. OP sued her for the parking money, winning by default.

The story shows how solving problems calmly and using the law can help in tough situations. It also teaches that being honest and fair is important, and people who cause trouble might face consequences in the end.

Great game, OP.

Involving IRS would have been a better option.

She was just being stupid.

Everybody loved the story.
