The tenants at Quality Hill Towers and Independence Towers in Kansas City have voted to withhold rent if their demands for improved living conditions are not met.
Tara Raghuveer emphasized that the tenants are living in ‘abysmal’ conditions while facing significant rent increases, calling attention to the federal support of these landlords.
Organizers from various states are gearing up to support the strike, indicating a widespread movement against corporate landlords benefiting from federally backed financing.
Raghuveer pointed out that the government’s financial support through the FHFA effectively enables the exploitation of tenants by negligent landlords.
