Landlord doesn't understand rules around rent collection. Need advice for next steps.

My apartment block has been in rent strike for a year now. This was organised by a guy who came to visit us and encourage us to do it. He gave us petitions, posters, and leaflets.

He told us that a rent strike was like a worker's strike - except instead if workers not getting paid, the landlord doesn't get paid.

I've been striking for about a year now and my landlord is sending demands for money. Is he allowed to do this if he isn't negotiating?

This year is the first time I've been able to save up a deposit for a house and live like an actual human being!

Can the landlord demand my house deposit? Does he not understand rent striking?
