I had my real-estate agent (Western Australia) rock up at my house and ask me questions about an unregistered car on the property, two hours later a council ranger turned up saying they had complaints about the car and was going to issue a removal notice. I said my real estate was the complaint source and he just stated that they had complaints and couldn't say who to which I had a laugh and explained she had randomly turned up asking about the car just two hours ago, to which he got this funny look and stared at the car and then at the other car in the driveway and asked if driveway car was registered which it was and just said

"swap the cars around so it's the registered car on the verge and it can legally sit there for two years before they can do anything about it" He then said have a good day and left

Second it is an offence to turn up at a tenants house unannounced where I live (which is what property manager did to ask about car) and led to us breaching the agency and them getting a 10k fine for breaching peace and privacy 🥳

Has anyone else had an authority help you screw over someone being a nuisance like this?

Edit, real estate agent is managing the rental property Also can be called a property manager
