Kansas City Rent Strike Confronts 'Notice To Vacate' & Legal Threats

It seems that progressive local political action organized during election season has backfired on low-income residents. 

Moreover . . . 

TKC TOLD YOU SO!!! LANDLORDS AREN'T RENEWING LEASES FOR RESIDENTS PARTICIPATING IN THE "RENT STRIKE" ORGANIZED BY KC TENANTS!!!  

Is it retaliation??? Maybe . . . But landlords are also well-within their rights to decline another lease to someone who isn't playing. 

But aside from legal debates . . .

"On Friday, Nov. 22, KC Tenants said Sentinel Real Estate Corporation, the owner of Quality Hill Towers, issued at least ten lease non-renewal notices to tenants on strike. The notices threatened legal action if tenants did not move out by Dec. 31 - Jan. 19.

"The tenant union said these non-renewals are bad faith and retaliatory for a rent strike that has been going on for nearly two months. Members believe the move will only escalate the dilemma. A week before, they requested a meeting with Sentinel leaders to reach an agreement to end the strike. The company has not responded."
