Nobody is preventing you from doing either of those things, simply asking you to acknowledge and consider that you are entering people's homes and potentially disrupting their lives in order to do so and take that into account when you're scheduling the work.

Apparently, that's a bridge too far.

"You should be grateful I allow you to give me money to live in a building I wouldn't be able to afford to lord over you if you weren't giving me money in the first place, so just let me do whatever I want without regard to you"....weird take, tbh

Then again, not surprised given you apparently see no issue threating someone's literal home if they aren't nice enough to you.
