In “82 Tenants” the widow Zhang and Bing, her new young consort, want to sell an apartment house to a property developer but old man Zhang's will provided that the current tenants can stay there as long as they want or the building survives. So it is clear who the villains are—joining the greedy couple is Chao who has purchased all the land around the building but needs this final piece so he can know everything down and build a money spinning edifice. One the other side are the tenants, a disparate group whose grudgingly and occasionally antagonistically shared communal life, while not ideal, is certainly better than not having a place to live.

The 82 Tenants is a 1982 comedy film about a widow and her young husband who scheme to evict long-term tenants from their apartment building so it can be sold to a developer. The tenants, bound together by a clause in the late landlord's will, must unite to protect their home from the greedy couple and a land-grabbing businessman.
