In this episode, Emma shares a personal story about handling a difficult tenant who claimed they would “never leave.” What could have been a nightmare scenario turned into a lesson in mindset, resilience, and problem-solving. Emma explains how focusing on solutions rather than dwelling on problems helped her navigate a stressful situation, protect her property, support other tenants and neighbours, and ultimately find a positive resolution.
KEY TAKEAWAYS- Focus on solutions, not problems. Where focus goes, energy flows — dwelling on worst-case scenarios only amplifies them.
- Your mindset matters. Approaching challenges with calm, faith, and resilience makes a huge difference in outcomes.
- Protect everyone involved. Difficult tenants impact not just landlords, but also other tenants, neighbours, and the wider community.
- Seek support and act quickly. Using good management, NRLA advice, and immediate action can prevent situations from escalating.
- Believe there is always a way. Maintaining faith that solutions exist creates space for them to appear.
