Tenants don’t have the same rights with respect to their landlord as employees do with their employer. So unfortunately I can’t see this ending well for the tenants who participate.
while understandable, i think this position is ultimately self-defeating–the rights that employees have against their employers pretty much all exist because they were won through political struggle originally (usually at great social or economic expense to early workers). the same can probably be said of tenant rights, and that therefore the only reason they aren’t as good as employee rights is because there’s not really a broad tenant activist movement yet. and that would of course have to be built through actions like this, even if they might in a specific case end poorly for tenants
