Uhmm … yea, you CAN evict everyone. It’s called an eviction.
Don’t pay rent, get evicted. Don’t move out when evicted, get trespassed and thrown out by the Sheriff.
A renters union won’t do shit. Laws need to be changed to scale property tax so the more properties you own the more taxes you pay.
It can cost landlords a lot of money. You can evict everyone but then you need to actually go through the process with them, one by one. The union can also collectively call attention from the municipality, file official complaints, etc.
If you rent strike and the landlord evicts eveyone, then they need to ready all the units all at once with none of the units generating any income. Assuming they have maintenance staff, they don’t have enough to handle that kind of volume. They’ll need to contract it out or deal with no income as units get ready one by one. The only downside (upside for them) is that they might be able to raise the rents on new tenants if demand is high enough.
