* Not a landlord, but in the ''WesternAnimation/CuriousGeorge'' movie, the Man in the Yellow Hat has to hide George from his building's doorman.

* The TropeMaker is ''Series/ThreesCompany''. Its reputation as being a fountain for {{Idiot Plot}}s is largely based on the only part of the show anyone remembers -- that Jack has to pretend to be gay so the landlord doesn't realize the apartment is a den of sin. You'd think Janet and Chrissy would just avert this entire conflict by getting a female roommate, but it would seem that Jack's cooking really is that good.

* As a general rule, without going into specifics, this can become the case for any apartment complex that has strict no-smoking policy, simply because the second-hand smoke is considered an issue of public health and also because many household fires tend to be started by carelessly discarded cigarettes. Of course, this can be very difficult to catch.

The often comical combination of CrankyLandlord, NosyNeighbor and SingleIssueWonk, this is a landlord who is obsessed about one extremely specific clause in the rental contract of his tenant. With this obsession in mind, he will proceed to hound said tenant relentlessly thinking that one day, he will at long last prove that the tenant is breaking the rules and therefore evict him.
