I very strongly believe in tenant unions, but I feel like rent should be stabilized by the government instead of the adversarial bargaining relationship. Do tenant unions there have the right to go on a rent strike?
Kinda’, I think. The system is a bit weird, like a second rent increase like the one mentioned before is usually considered OK if the tenant paid the rent, because why would you pay it if you do not accept it? If the tenant union do not agree to a rent increase, that is what can happen, landlord raise rent anyway, tenant union tells tenants to not pay the increase. Beyond that, not sure they have any legal power to rent strike.
interesting. I feel like that’s still too favorable towards landlords, but the high saturation in union membership is empowered to legally act in combating the behavior. Not the greatest, but I like it. What else does the tenant union usually bargain for?
