Landlord reference saga 
During Sydney's second lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, Cashman began making videos on the popular social media app TikTok, with his 'landlord reference saga' gaining particular traction. In these videos, Cashman asked a prospective landlord for a reference written by a previous tenant, and shared their response.
