Each of these differences provides a means for performing our proper role — deciding the case before us without unnecessary disruption of precedent. First, this case is quite distinguishable from Snitman since Snitman involved a commercial lease while Johnson held a residential lease, a distinction acknowledged — and ignored — by the majority. See also Wheeler v. Thompson, 98 D.W.L.R. 41 (D.C.Gen.Sess.1970).[3] The majority, in fact, never consider whether their abrogation of the landlord's right of entry by self-help might be limited to the residential context for which they evince concern.
