Tenants in the Bronx have filed a lawsuit against their landlord, accusing them of failing to make basic repairs and maintaining unsafe living conditions, with a desire to transition their building to tenant ownership, as reported by @ShoshBedrosian. This legal action is part of a broader trend across the United States, where renters are increasingly challenging corporate landlords. In Arizona, concerns have been raised about software used by these landlords to artificially inflate rents, prompting calls for a federal investigation into anticompetitive practices and a price-fixing scheme by the FTC. Additionally, residents in Boyle Heights are protesting the planned demolition and development of rent-stabilized properties, fearing the loss of affordable housing. The growing discontent among U.S. renters is leading to legal battles and public protests against corporate landlords accused of prioritizing profits over tenant welfare.

Software used by corporate landlords is artificially raising rents and price gouging Arizonans. We can't allow this price-fixing scheme to continue. I'm pushing the FTC to investigate these anticompetitive practices and protect Arizona renters. https://t.co/SBmvFyGIkT https://t.co/bPqBDTIxFe
