City Council to Vote on AI Rental Price-Fixing Software

The policy, which is co-sponsored by Councilors Mitch Green and Tiffany Koyama Lane, is intended to address a tool that allows large building owners to share private data through software that collectively sets rent prices. Antitrust experts and tenant advocates say the property management software companies-and the landlords that contract with them-are skirting federal price-fixing law by using the algorithmic tool. They say the software enables landlords to essentially collude with one another to keep rents artificially high.
