Quality Hill Towers is an apartment complex owned by Sentinel Real Estate Corporation, located at 817 Jefferson Street in the West Bottoms neighborhood of Kansas City, Missouri.

The ownership of the building was given to TriGild after its previous owners, FTW Investments and Tango Management, were ousted by a court in May 2024 after failing to pay back a loan to Fannie Mae.

[7][2] This is the first rent strike in Kansas City since 1980, and described by tenants as the first ever targeting the Federal Housing Finance Agency, the regulator of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

[9] Tenants initially refused to pay over $60,000 in rent until their demands were met,[6] which included:[2] Sentinel distributed notices to strikers as a "friendly fall reminder", which were burned in retaliation.

[14] The rent strike was paused in December, as a show of good faith by tenants entering negotations with Sentinel, with the potential to resume if demands are not met.

[14][15] Since the start of the strike several improvements have been made to the building, including new & serviced boilers, flush valve replacements, repainted doors & hallways, eviction dismissals and thousands of dollars in rent forgiveness.

"[9][2] Kansas City metropolitan area representative Emanuel Cleaver supported the strike after a visit to Independence Towers, where he described the apartment complex's condition as "horrible".
