    Who’s "the government’? My government absolutely allow this

    Edit: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deutscher_Mieterbund

    The Deutscher Mieterbund e. V. (DMB) is a federal association of tenants’ associations that sees itself as the political representative of the interests of all tenants of residential property in Germany, independent of the state and political parties. It is the umbrella organization of 15 state associations. These in turn, as registered associations under the name “Deutscher Mieterbund,” form the umbrella organizations of local tenants’ associations at the state level.

    • Likely they mean the US government. I’m not sure if anything other than labor groups can form an honest to God Union here. But I’m just as interested as the rest of the world, so I appreciate this comment for the knowledge that you can unionize tenant groups in Germany. That’s pretty cool.
