Landlords are scum. Building solidarity and power among fellow renters is really fucking important. Discuss
How to organize a Tenants Union in your building.
If organizing your building yourself seems too intimidating at first, seek out and help with housing organizing in your city/region and learn from more experienced organizers. You'll have helped out other renters and pretty soon it won't feel so intimidating to lead organizing yourself.

Damn that's some bullshit. Sorry to hear that. If/when you have the means, still consider helping volunteering/donating to tenants victoria. Their 'make renting fair' campaign looks well run, and hopefully you can help someone else in the future avoid your situation.
