Why do tenants need a union?
In a phrase: The rent is too damn high! Renters make up more than half of the people who live indoors in the IE. And what do renters get for their hard-earned money? Landlords who fail to meet code, deny or delay needed maintenance, add absurd fees for everything from paying rent on some app to rental applications, parking that was mandated by the city when they got permission to build the place and whatever they make up and pretend is the law. Many tenants have had enough.
Tenant organizing has been around for more than a century, with renters banding together to push for fairer agreements with landlords. It’s the same foundational idea that motivates labor unions: Collectively, renters can negotiate a better contract than they could individually. Organized, we can pressure landlords to follow the law, to fix things and to treat renters with respect. A union can also help tenants coordinate rent strikes, protests, mutual aid and political campaigns.
