this would be great advice in a vacuum but this approach is plenty risky as well. check out the case the Hamden fair rent commission is handling with Serramonte if you want to see this in action.

edit: certainly not advising against forming a union here, just advising against renting from scumbags assuming a union’s formation will fix the problems. these assholes have vast resources & zero regard for human decency, & they will do everything in their considerable scummy power to slice whatever organizational tendons they can. just something to bear closely in mind.
