I think the backlash the heroes receive from invading the privacy of the tenants/suspects is something you don't normally see in crime mystery. On the other hand, there is the trope Hero with Bad Publicity covering the problem of heroes having to deal with the consequences of a negative public image, justified or not.

To some extent I agree, except that the cast isn't closed yet. It's really common in crime mysteries for those that are being investigated to be upset at the investigators, pretty much a staple of the genre. It's not really until they catch the killer and prove their worth (which is very much what Oliver is desperate to do to prevent being evicted) that they generally are more unilaterally accepted.
So if, say, they solve the case and Oliver's still evicted, I'd say that's a Surprisingly Realistic Outcome because him being Easily Forgiven has been set up but solving the murder wouldn't necessarily make people forgive the impact the podcast has had on them.

Pulling from Surprisingly Realistic Outcome for discussion:
Basically, I'm not sure this qualifies because I don't know which outcome would be the surprisingly realistic one.
Like, having a podcast set in my building investigating a murder is such an outlandish premise that I can't really be certain what would be the "unsurprisingly unrealistic outcome" that Surprisingly Realistic Outcome is supposed to subvert. And as the natter points out, it's kinda more unrealistic that they're upset at the podcast over the, you know, murderer in their midst that the podcast proved is still out there.
