Tenants lock landlord outside gate
According to @Themrbachelor, the landlord treats his tenants with strictness whenever they arrive past the house gate closure time. The resident explained that the landlord strictly enforces a 9:30 pm gate-locking policy every day.
He noted that if any tenant arrived even one minute past the scheduled time, the landlord would refuse to open the gate for them.
However, the tables turned when the landlord took his own family out and failed to return before the house curfew.

"My landlord is outside like this, he has been knocking the main gate since, me and my other co tenants had agreed nobody is opening the door for him tonight he should go back to where he is coming from too!
He is always strict about locking the gate by 9:30pm everyday even if you're one minute late, he won't open it!
Today he went out with his family and are just coming back now, all of us have said we won't open the door for him, he should feel how it is too!
As at the time of typing this, he is still calling me 😂😆
Na there he go sleep this night! Or make he go back to where he is coming from too!"

"The gate is just a gate. But the lesson here is that's forever. How you treat people when you hold the keys determines how they treat you when you're locked out. Build systems with grace, or be prepared to sleep in your car."
