Kansas City tenants plan a rent strike demanding national rent caps, new ownership, and improved living conditions by October 1.

Tenants at Independence Towers and Quality Hill Towers in Kansas City plan to initiate a rent strike, potentially withholding over $60,000 in payments. Organized by KC Tenants, they demand national rent caps, new ownership, and improved living conditions, citing issues like fire damage and pest infestations. The tenants are targeting both landlords and federal regulators, given the properties' Fannie Mae financing, and will strike if demands are unmet by October 1.
