The Department of Justice has announced a settlement<\/a> with RealPage, the widely used rent-setting software that it accused of engaging in collusion to drive up rent prices by sharing previously private information from competing landlords. The settlement puts limits on RealPage\u2019s ability to collect and use that data, and blocks it from being used to set rents.<\/p>\n

Last year, the DOJ and several other states filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage<\/a>, claiming that the company\u2019s rent-setting software combines data from competing landlords to provide daily rental price suggestions. \u201cAs competitor-landlords increase their rents, RealPage\u2019s software nudges other competing landlords to increase their rents as well,\u201d the DOJ alleged.<\/p>\n

If the court approves the DOJ\u2019s settlement, RealPage must only use data from landlords that is 12 months or older to power its algorithm. The settlement also requires RealPage to \u201cremove or redesign\u201d features that discourage landlords from lowering prices or prompt landlords to match their prices with competitors. RealPage would also be barred from offering \u201chyperlocalized pricing\u201d information, which Assistant Attorney General Abigail Slater describes in a video on X<\/a> as hiking up rents \u201cblock-by-block.\u201d RealPage denies any wrongdoing<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cRealPage was replacing competition with coordination, and renters paid the price,\u201d Slater said. \u201cWe reached a settlement that stops RealPage from coordinating pricing with its customers.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
