    An eviction just costs court fees in my state, and the landlord will automatically get the fee and any legal fee back.

    People put deposits down exactly for this reason. The properties are insured. There is no way a renters union would work.

      Sorry everyone, forget everything I said. This one person says that the first reason in my list of reasons of why it can be effective to form a tenants union isn’t a big deal in their state. I guess that miraculously invalidates all of my other points that aren’t related the legal fees of the eviction process. Obviously, it also applies to every other state, even if the fees thing is different there for some reason.
