RENT STRIKE WIN Yesterday, four months into their rent strike– the first in Raytown, MO history– Bowen Tower Tenant Union signed an agreement with their landlord. The agreement satisfies key demands and allows the union to de-escalate the strike by Feb 1.

On Sunday, the DPH Local of SVTU met at 🔺 Park, where tenants shared stories of slumlord conditions, inc. sewage backups, leaks, + roach infestations. The union collectivizes the struggle, so we ❤️ to see tenants support one another, learn their rights, + brainstorm ways to hold LLs accountable.

Something that doesn't get nearly enough attention: nonrefundable application and "administrative" fees just to be considered for an apartment. I've heard from families who have spent hundreds—even thousands—of dollars on applications and are still without a home. This is legalized extortion.

Screenshot of an Atlanta apartment complex's fee table showing "Application Fee Per Applicant: $150" and "Administrative Fee: $300," both listed as "Due at Application."

In June, dozens of tenants in Los Angeles went on utility strike — they refused to pay their utility bills and demanded the landlord provide transparency as to how the bills are counted. Three months into the strike, the landlord returned more than $25,000 back to these tenants.

Huge win ‼️ This is Mac. His corporate landlord just back-credited his account with over $700 after dozens of tenants in his building went on utility strike back in June. The whole building got back over $25,000 in a concession by their corporate landlord Equity Residential.

LA Tenants are going into month four—this September—of a utility strike. Why? They’re fed up with RUBS: a scam ratio utility billing system that evenly divides a building’s utility usage among tenants without any formulaic explanation. 70% of the building is on strike.

We need to draw attention to a new, exploding type of household debt that only recently emerged: it's called rent debt—or "back rent debt," and it didn't really exist before COVID at all. It's getting little attention in housing discourse and media coverage. We'll explain it.

We've been coordinating a utility-bill strike in a small town you might have heard of—Los Angeles. Dozens of folks across multiple buildings have paid rent—but have *withheld* their utility bill payments. Today marks Day 75 of the strike. We think we're on the verge of a win.
