The 1915 Glasgow Rent Strike.
A5 pamphlet

In 1915, during World War 1, one of the largest rent strikes in urban history broke
out in parts of Glasgow, in response to steep rent rises imposed by private
landlords. 20,000 joined the refusal to pay rent, organizing a grassroots movement
that physically resisted evictions and contested them in the courts, and forcing the
British government to passing legislation to control rent levels. The Rent Strike
was a significant factor in the development of subsidised public housing.
