"They usually call them tenant unions and we're talking about a rent strike, so that's nomenclature that comes from labor law," said Cleveland-Marshall College of Law Professor Kenneth Kowalski. RELATED: Residents at The Vue in Beachwood are concerned about response to January flooding from management RELATED : 50 residents of The Vue to withhold about $100,000 worth of rent due to apartment troubles "We're paying our full rent and we weren't getting what we were promised," said The Vue resident Neil Weinberger. In February, March and April, those residents have paid nearly $250,000 in rent to the Shaker Heights Municipal Court. Filing their monthly rent with the court protects them from getting evicted and forces management to address resident concerns before getting the rent.
