The 1931 Barcelona rent strike was called in July 1931 by Confederación Nacional del Trabajo (CNT) as a result of a massive immigration wave to Barcelona for jobs constructing the 1929 International Exposition, the Wall Street crash of 1929, and political instability. By the following month, 100,000 working-class families had joined it. The strike went on for several months, during which it overlapped with the Strike of the Telefónica and the general strike called by the CNT in September, and had its epicentre in the so-called Casas Baratas in the neighbourhoods of Bon Pastor, Can Peguera, Ferrer i Guardia and Baró de Viver. The strike was fiercely suppressed, with 18 deaths and dozens of injuries and arrests. It ended in December of the same year after the imprisonment of the CNT-created committee, although it remained active intermittently during the following year, giving rise to various agreements with small owners for a reduction in rent prices.
