And importantly, it brings that relief to American consumers now, not three years from now.
RealPage is an algorithmic pricing system that many large landlords use to coordinate rental prices instead of competing for tenants.
Landlords fed their confidential data into a shared algorithm that generated daily rent recommendations.
RealPage was replacing competition with coordination and renters paid the price.
We reached a settlement that stops RealPage from coordinating pricing with its customers.
Under the settlement, the company must stop using competitors' landlords' secret data to set rents in real time, and its software can no longer generate hyper-localized pricing that pushes rents up block by block, and RealPage must eliminate features that discourage landlords from lowering prices or that nudged competitors toward the same rent levels.
What does this mean for you and your family?
It means more real competition in local housing markets.
It means rents set by the market, not by a secret algorithm.
It is a win for renters, and it means more affordable options for Americans trying to make ends meet.
The cost of living is top of mind as we continue to do our important work at the Trump Antitrust Division.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and Thanksgiving wishes to you all, even the haters.
Basically, yeah.
So it's a piece of software that algorithmically was sorting prices that were going up across millions of rental properties across the country.
And it was analyzing the pricing data, sending it back to the markets, to the landlords.
One landlord that we settled with already had a million rental units under management.
And those prices, those rental prices in those local markets were going up, not down.
And so we we settled with RealPage.
We've already settled with the biggest landlord and we'll keep going.
As you know, we're very, very focused on affordability and cost of living, in particular for our young people.
