A bit, yes, but I've found that being on good terms with the tenants, respectful, and just asking nicely they were willing to do it.
One of my tenants even got orange-pilled to a degree because of it, and told me he is very excited to start stacking Bitcoin and using it. 

valid point.  Does create some more friction for the tenants though.

Using private channels with private nodes like OBW, Blixt, Phoenix, Breez, Electrum is not required to close the channels.
You don't have to run a public routing node in order to receive LN payments.

Lightning Network use case for efficient stacking

One potential issue is the need for regular, monthly use of the large inbound channels to avoid losing liquidity. If tenants stop paying in Bitcoin, or you do not have enough incoming payments to maintain the channels, you may need to pay fees to close them and open new channels.
