I'm using this article as inspiration for my own tenant organizing, the goal is to get all of my neighbors on board and then do a march on the landlord with a signed petition demanding the space. It becomes much harder to reject at that point
I wish you luck, but give low odds of success.
I lived in an apartment building that once had a "free stuff" corner near the entrance where people would put stuff out that was in good condition that they no longer needed, but the landlord would remove everything at least once per month. They worried about fire hazard and insurance and clutter and such. But if there was food, I'd wager they'd have stopped it entirely. Someone has an allergic reaction to something in the community pantry? Who is at fault?
The person that grabbed the food is at fault, same as a grocery store, food pantry, or nearly anywhere else.
I have a hard time not having my bicycle (or parts thereof) stolen in my building
But why
There are several reasons, my personal reasons include the formation of a tenant union and mutual aid toward my neighbors.
I love the intention, but this is a horrible idea on so many levels.
And why is that?
I'm hoping it's gonna turn out to be a pun about the apartment building being on many levels
