Will Mandami force landlords in bankruptcy?

I have read that Mandamis people are telling renters to complain about everything, then go on a renters strike. This will force bankruptcies and the city will take over the properties. Is this the first wave of communism?

No, the landlords need to learn to not be so greedy.

Next stop. Fix the bankruptcy laws so that rich people cant walk away leaving everyone else broke and stay rich themselves. (Yes. I do have someone in mind.)😷

@whowasthatmaskedman Mandami will not let that happen. The city will take over the properties. And they will all be happy. No more capitalist landlords.

I've heard Mamdani would cause the apocalypse since before he was elected and thus far I have seen only improvements to the life of NYCers

@Elessar I know multiple people that live there and are directly benefiting already from his stewardship.

Fact

@Elessar I think you missed the point, that for Republicans, things improving for the ordinary working folk IS the Apocalypse,,😷

If they can't afford to maintain their properties, maybe they should sell to someone who isn't that broke or greedy.

@Crazywaterspring who would be foolish enough to buy them?

Best way to avoid tenants complaining is to maintain your property well and provide a decent level of service for the eyewateringly high rent.

@SunshineGirl Mandamis people are telling tenants to complain about everything from dim lights to noise. Do you want to bet that Mandami is doing this in order to take over properties?

@Greenthumb Good thing he and the rest of Dems DO support the separation between religion and state.

Don't vote Republican if you're afraid of that

It will force them to sell the properties. Hopefully the next owners won't be so greedy.
HikingMan · 56-60, M
@hunkalove They’re not selling anything. They just tie shit up in courts as they reap the rent.

This is something that he sees and knows, which is why he’s advocating for tenants to use escrow accounts. He hasn’t actually told anyone to just stop paying rent.

He wants tenants to withhold the rent in a legal manner that will force these corporate entities into the overdue maintenance.

It’s all legalese that normal people are unaware of and that these corporate entities use daily to fuck people over.
Greenthumb · 56-60, M
@HikingMan correct, the city will force them into receivership.
Greenthumb · 56-60, M
@hunkalove The next owner will be the city. Wait and see. This is what anti capitalists do. It will be a uptopia, right?

Dw the landlords aren't going bankrupt lol, you're either naive or you're a greedy landlord yourself.
Greenthumb · 56-60, M
@turningthekeys wait and see. This is exactly what socialism does.
Greenthumb · 56-60, M
@turningthekeys this is quintessential socialism. Its what they do. Talk about naive.
turningthekeys · 31-35, F
@Greenthumb okay, sorry.
Waveney · M
That’s also a conspiracy theory dressed up as fact.

Mamdani is encouraging tenants to report genuine housing violations and organise, not telling them to invent complaints and bankrupt landlords.

There’s no evidence of a secret plan to force landlords into bankruptcy so the city can grab their properties.
Greenthumb · 56-60, M
@Waveney Don't be naive. This is what socialism does.
Waveney · M
@Greenthumb That's not an argument. Can you provide evidence that Mamdani is actively trying to bankrupt landlords and seize their properties that doesn't come from the op-ed of the NY Post, which you copied pretty much verbatim?
RachelLia2003 · 22-25, F
@newjaninev2 it aint socialism. thats commonism
