Building Tenant Power
With rent increases vastly outstripping wages, renters across the world are organising into unions to defend their rights from profit-seeking landlords, and to fight for legal protections. Iniciativa nájemníků a nájemnic, or Tenant’s Initiative, is one such union, formed in the Czech Republic to bring social and institutional change to the post-socialist housing market. We talked to one of the founders, Yuliya Moskvina, about the housing conditions in the Czech Republic, how to organise for social power, and the hopes for building alternative structures to neoliberal capitalism.
