I’ve been considering building a tenant’s union but I’ve never heard of anything like that over here before. A lot of the advice I see on the internet is about laws, which doesn’t transfer seamlessly to here.

Since rent prices have gone up a stupid amount since the pandemic, with no sign of going down despite our economy looking much better, it seems like a good avenue for some practice.

Anybody have any experience with starting one from nothing like that?

    Good tips. I actually live in a small apartment complex, but I don’t even have access to sections so knocking on most doors would be a bit difficult. I’ve been thinking of just leaving cards in mailboxes and such with contact information in case they’re interested. Do you think that’d be a good way to go, or sounds too much like a “Nigerian Prince” scam? It just so happens that I’ve met some interested people today outside the block, but momentum is always nice.
