Tenant unions are the strangest things. The idea of a union is labor is skilled and in demand, and together your interests are stronger than apart.
There isn't really a in demand skill here (anyone can live in an apartment), and being part of a union would be a signal to a landlord you are probably going to be annoying so they likely would just want to rent to someone else whose money is just as good as yours.
