A rent strike occurs when tenants collectively refuse to pay rent to their landlord as a form of protest or demand for better living conditions. However, there are various other words and phrases that can be used to describe this form of action. One of these is 'rent boycott', where tenants similarly refuse to pay rent until certain changes are made in their living environment. Another term is 'rent withholding', which implies that tenants hold back rental payments until certain concerns or issues are addressed. Then there is 'rent rebellion' or 'rent uprising', which suggests a more aggressive stance taken by tenants to challenge their landlords. Ultimately, all of these terms refer to the same act of standing up for one's living rights and fighting for better living conditions.
