Tips on forming a tenant's union? (lemmygrad.ml)

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?

We started with an initial block of 8 flats in which one of our members was a resident. There is no party in our country yet, but in my city we have a strong and well developing collective that we are using to build mass organisations among the workers. So we had no party support as such, but it was a collective effort. We have similar issues here where people don't have much interest in discussing money matters, but due to rampant inflation everyone is starting to complain about costs. If you live in an apartment complex that might make it easier to get a start on learning the resources to figure out the exact ownership details of buildings.

Might be a bit of digging for data for a few months first, but hey we're materialists right?

Couldn't resist

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.

Oooh that's awesome you've already got some interest, ka pai e hoa (well done comrade). Flier drops actually do work pretty well if worded well. As long as you don't word it like a Nigerian scam you should be sweet as lol. Not everyone will get in contact, but a few might
