    And yes, a landlord likely would evict an entire building full of troublemakers.

    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?

    The idea is, if you don’t like the cost of something, you go somewhere else.

    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.

        This is the whole point of unionizing the building. So yes it is realistic and yes it does give you leverage. Do you really think they would evict 50 apartments simultaneously?

            Why would they risk losing all of that income when they would lose a lot less if they just negotiated with the tenants? Sounds like they’re really bad at business.
