Thereās no way you could get enough people on board for this to ever work. If you donāt pay your rent, youāll be evicted, and theyāll find another person within the week who needs housing and will actually pay their rent.

No Iāve been paying rent for years no problem no need to accuse me of not wanting to do something you have to do especially when it comes putting a roof over my kids head. But go head and attack my free speech without properly addressing my comment with a healthy discourse.

Rent Strike is a real thing that has worked before. But I don't think Americans have enough class solidarity to pull that off.

Thatās true due to differences and hate amongst us Americans.

If I rented my house it would be for $2000 and it was built in the 30ās. Itās simply math not some ploy to take advantage of you. My cost + some profit to provide a cushion for unforeseen maintenance costs that would eventually arise.

Workers strike can be a thing as well I know it works for unions.

My wife and I rent a house for 2K a month, everything included. With the cost of electricity, heating, cooling, taxes, mortgage, mowing the lawn etc etc I bet they are barely making any profit. It is expensive but life is expensive for everyone. I know not all rentals are like this but many of them are. Everywhere. I just came from northern New England and it is the same thing there

Damn didnāt know that stuff like this is happening outside the country as well and aināt the 2k is a issue for me itās what the place look like and the place look like itās worth 1000.

A more realistic strike scenario would be like if an entire building of tenants had grievances and withheld rent in escrow until the grievances were addressed. I have a soft spot for the idea of a general strike, but I don't really see that happening. I do agree with the sentiment that landlords don't really contribute much to society though, LOL.

But 2k in NE dollars is actually like $1600 US.

God this is just like the gas increase, compared to most places in the world our inflation is low and our currency is strong. This isnāt just an American problem. Itās running rampant world wide. But sure make the problem exclusively about Americans!
