Your ability and leverage to enforce your rights as a renter is contingent on organizing / contingent on occupying the apartment. This isn’t a simple “well the law says” issue where landlords’ behavior just changes for a couple reasons...https://twitter.com/spinnellii/status/1169043911563763712 …
The first is that the housing market inherently gives those who own housing power over those who seek it. This is a BAD thing and why it’s just TRUE we need to increase supply (of de-commodified, democratically controlled, social housing.)
Our rights as renters have always been enforced through organizing. How would you organize against a landlord you don’t have any leverage over? Traditional consumer organizing tactics (boycott, reputational campaigns) don’t work against nameless, faceless corporations ....
....or when it comes to a good like housing, which is something people need and we don’t have enough of.
As an aside - People say public housing has failed - by ANY definition the private market has failed to house poor people at a much larger scale
The second reason is landlords are PROUDLY breaking our new laws - intentionally - in order to erode the political will to keep them around.
