Line 18:
* ''[[Green Card]]'': Guy and girl have to pretend to be in a relationship so she can get her dream-condo (which is couples-only), and in return he gets the titular Green Card. Somebody suspects that they're faking it, and [[Hilarity Ensues]] as they have to keep the tangled web of lies from collapsing. Needless to say, they wind up ''actually'' falling in love.
* [[Laurel and Hardy]]'s short ''Laughing Gravy''. Laughing Gravy is a small dog, and once again the landlord doesn't allow pets.

* In ''Love, Sex, and the IRS'', the landlord is obsessed with catching the main characters breaking his no female visitors policy. The play is about the two male roommates pretending one of them is a woman so they can cheat on their taxes by claiming to be a married couple. [[Hilarity Ensues]].▼

Line 27 ⟶ 24:
* In ''[[Spaced]]'', the two main characters are pretending to be in a relationship in order to rent a flat for a couple, {{spoiler|although late in the series it is revealed that "professional couple only" never was a requirement to rent the flat but a mistake from someone working at the newspaper the ad was published in.}}
* The [[Trope Maker]] is ''[[Three's Company]]''. Its reputation as being a fountain for [[Idiot Plot|Idiot Plots]] 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.
