    That’s simply not how this works, if you don’t pay your rent, you get evicted. And yes, a landlord likely would evict an entire building full of troublemakers.

    The idea is, if you don’t like the cost of something, you go somewhere else. Why would rent be any different?

      Do you have an example of a landlord evicting every tenant of a large apartment building because they banded together to oppose a rent increase?

      Have you not been paying attention? There is nowhere else. Rent is ridiculously high everywhere. You free marketers are not grounded in reality.

        Has anyone tried this before? this entire premise just isn’t realistic, the only leverage you have over a landlord, besides knowing the rules, is taking your business elsewhere, AKA a boycott.
