Jointly negotiate rent increase or deny payment until maintenance is kept up?
You just get evicted and maybe even prosecuted. The end.
Well the idea is the landlord can't evict everyone in the building at once. They lose a ton of money and it's very hard to go to court that much.
Of course it isn't really like a real union. They can easily replace tenants; it's not a skilled position. Co-ops are better, since you actually own the building.
That's dependent on the landlord owning the building rather than a single dwelling - which is not the norm where I'm from.
