Sorry about the clickbaity heading – Peter Chen is a landlord who has a handful of properties in south Brisbane with a tenant demographic of (generally) students, foreigners and the borderline homeless. This story on ACA came out yesterday, prompting a few people to be like "Oh yeah that f+cking guy."
I know of his "student accommodation" building in Coorparoo was shut down for violating a medley of state/tenancy/fire safety laws some years back, but still quietly operates. Coz I guess given the choice, people will choose dodgy housing over homelessness.
Anyone rented from him, got the 🍵?

He used to be my landlord. I rented a property from him in Wooloongabba and due to the mold we agreed in writing to terminate the lease after 2 months.
He took me to QCAT and I successfully won. He had no court manners (calling the magistrate miss and interrupting her) and when she granted the full release of bond to me he had to be escorted out of the building by security for making physical threats against me.
