Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Guest Host: Brendan Greeley
A Brightwood Park rent strike demonstration organized by the Latino Economic Development Center.
A group of tenants in a Brightwood Park apartment building have been withholding rent for three months to force the landlord to address what they describe as deplorable living conditions–including water damage, vermin, and mold. While rent strikes are usually a last resort for tenants, the tactic may gain traction as an effective tool for renters. We explore the rights of tenants–and landlords–in disputes over building maintenance.
Guests
- Joel Cohn Director of Legislative Policies, D.C. Office of the Tenant Advocate
- Kathy Zeisel Senior Supervising Attorney,Children's Law Center
- Rob Wohl Tenant Organizing Manager with the Latino Economic Development Center
