'You won't get inside': Tenant tricks landlord into getting stuck outside their own apartment after they demand viewings

One of the penultimate joys of renting a home is having random strangers traipsing through your house; it will happen on a near monthly basis during your tenancy—or on whatever duration for inspection is dictated in your agreement. Still, whenever this occurs, you'll feel like you've been transported into Shawshank Prison and are awaiting an inspection from a corrupt and hostile warden who may take issue unpredictably at any little thing. Sure, in most cases, the inspection isn't nearly so insidious, but the anxiety that it presents is one of the worst parts of not being able to own your own home. This will double, triple—quadruple even, in frequency when it comes time for you to move on… Probably because you were priced out of your current rental due to incremental rent increases. Whatever the reason, your landlord will want to show your home and will organize times for even more strangers to procedurally ransack your home.
