KC Tenants Threaten North Lawn Rent Strike

The record of this group is sketchy when it comes to these kinds of protest . . . And might actually be more productive to find these people some place better to live . . . Nevertheles . . . Here's a peek at more local advocacy and a hint of a plan . . . Take a peek: 

"The rent is due on August 1. Our neighbors at the apartments on North Lawn have been living with sewage in the basements, widespread pest infestations, no heat, no AC, and building-wide utilities outages that have displaced ten families from the properties since May 1 . . . 

"Tenants’ ultimate power is our rent. A rent strike is an organized, collective action in which tenants strategically withhold their rent in order to win a set of demands. Authorization is the landlord’s last chance to meet our demands. If THE OWNER fails to negotiate by 5 PM Friday, THE STRIKE IS ON."
