      So other commenters have opinions that I think are rational, but the part that I think is key that they’re missing: Tenant Unions.

      I have some (in my opinion) tyrannical yet lazy land lords/property managers at my current apt, and have attempted to form a tenant union. Apparently no one agrees with my level of disgust at our treatment, so I’ve kind of wiffed at the effort.

      Which is to say that it takes real work, but it can be done and there are resources for you, but that’s the first step: don’t go alone.

        You’d be more effective taking all of that cash and flushing it down the toilet. It would have the same result, and it would force the landlord to pay for a plumber.

        Your mandatory arbitration clause would like a word with you.

      The landlord can do bulk billing, and they can refuse to allow other companies to service the property. As a tenant the first one doesn’t mean you have to buy in to that, and the second doesn’t apply to wireless providers. Both things are a basis to sue.

      Also this was a simple search away. Please do the simple searching yourself from now on.
