Stealth Exhaust 1st Floor

I'm in the first floor of an uppity type complex (Think Karen Land) and my landlord and neighbors are all Karens (We moved there because it's safe).

Problem: They don't allow us to use blackout curtains or show anything other than the provided blinds.

The windows are oversized so even with an extension idk how I'd set up a portable AC type exhaust without giving myself away.

The next option is venting through our dryer vent but that requires not being able to close the room door ever. And people come visit all the time.

I plan to run a 480w Flower, 240w Veg, and 100w Seedling. Anyone ever try something in a similar situation?

Just and fyi - everyone in my building walks past my bedroom window to get in and out.

Who's Karen? lol Sounds like a bitch.

Honestly, I dunno what you expect us to say. lol Sounds like you have considered all the available options. Not like you can stealthily punch a hole in the wall for a vent. Can't use the windows for a window AC probably since it's mechanical. I have seen people disguise the housing for a window AC unit into an exhaust vent.

Sounds like the dryer vent is the best option, and not have people over. Or just skip the growing or greatly reduce it's footprint so it doesn't require exhausting.

Ask yourself how much you want to grow. I mean do you really want to grow (or live) in a prison? And second how much weed do you need to be able to live there... 480w should translate to a pound to two pounds dry. Do you need that much? How about going stealth and aiming for like two ounces per month?

How come you can't close the dryer room door? Cause the tent takes up too much space gets in the way of the door swinging shut?
I'm assuming that the dryer vents at ground level? Can you have air coming out of it 24/7 without raising suspicion?
Do you care if your electricity bill is sky high? You can solve a lot of problems with a lot of power.
Are you on a budget? You can solve a lot of problems with money.

The grow room is right next to the laundry room I can hook up an exhaust running through but I wouldn't be able to close the door.

I'll most likely go with the dryer vent for now as I start. I'll probably set up the window but won't hook anything up until I know my neighbors won't snitch. Once I'm close to flowering I'll hook it up if no problems arise. I've got a buddy who'll hide my plants in case the landlord want to come in. I'm also slowly building a box in case such situations arise.
