The Department of Justice alleges that RealPage’s pricing algorithm enables landlords to coordinate price increases, violating antitrust laws and harming competition in the rental market.
Attorney General Merrick Garland highlighted that no American should face higher rents simply because a company has devised a method to collaborate unlawfully with landlords.
RealPage insists their software promotes an efficient rental market, stating that landlords retain the autonomy to set and adjust their rental prices despite algorithm suggestions.
This lawsuit signals the Biden administration’s renewed focus on strict antitrust measures, following previous legal actions against major corporations like Apple and Ticketmaster.
