  2. at one time an organized building, or one on rent strike, attracted buyers who thought they could offer a lower price because the current landlord had a "difficult" building.
    it was very interesting.

  3. So the tenants "will not stand for a campaign of aggressive evictions"? It's almost a dare.

  5. Amazing. We should put this on every building on the LES

  6. Wouldn't this just encourage a more aggressive landlord/speculator to buy the building? I'm sure it could add some leverage to the buyer if it's a "problem building."

  7. Buildings are expensive enough, who would want to buy a lawsuit as well? This is an attempt to speak to a landlord in their own language: $$$$$$$.

    As a tenant lawyer and successful rent striker, the sooner a tenant realizes the only thing a landlord understands is money the better.
