Consumer Boycotts Quotes

“In the years preceding World War I, tenants in Budapest used boycotts as a weapon against
individual landlords. “Residents who were not able to pay the increased rent and who were therefore evicted, called upon those seeking dwellings to boycott the houses concerned. These calls were publicized in newspapers and
posters, and met with much success. As a result of this, and the solidarity of the tenants still living there, many landlords were forced to conclude collective contracts which severely restricted their rights.”
