  A Day in the Life III

  This is my third entry, and I have found that people are beginning to not pay rent. The apartment complex have posted notes on the door's of people who have yet to pay, threatening to evict them. Sadly, I doubt this will amount to anything, as very few people are still here and so I wish them luck in evicting people who aren't even here, since they are threatening to actually evict people. It truly shows how much they care for us as their tenants when they shut down all of their services and leave rent prices the same, truly magnificent.

  Defaced rent strike sign in Chicago

  The remnants of a flyer taped to a lamp post in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, advertising a rent strike against MAC Properties, one of Hyde Park's biggest leasing companies. Before being mostly ripped down, the flyer read "MAC tenants, organized" and included an image of an apartment building with the words "keep your rent, April 1."
