Did RealPage’s software raise your rent? You may qualify for a rent price fixing lawsuit

What renters should know about the RealPage lawsuit

If you rented an apartment in recent years and your rent kept rising while your property management company used RealPage’s pricing software, you may not have been paying a fair market price. The RealPage price fixing lawsuit alleges that some renters were charged artificially high rent — and may be entitled to compensation.

Millions of renters nationwide may have paid inflated rent prices due to alleged anticompetitive practices involving RealPage’s pricing software. Lawsuits, including a 2024 federal case filed by the U.S. Department of Justice and a RealPage class action lawsuit, claim the company enabled landlords to coordinate rent pricing instead of competing.

According to the RealPage lawsuit, the company’s algorithm collected private data from competing property managers and used it to recommend higher rent prices. This alleged rent price fixing may have allowed landlords to raise rents in sync, with estimates suggesting renters paid 5% to 7% more than they would have in a competitive market.

You may have unknowingly overpaid if you rented an apartment managed with the aid of RealPage software, paid rent during the alleged price-fixing period and experienced algorithm-driven rent increases.

How RealPage allegedly fixed rent prices

The RealPage lawsuit alleges that the company played a central role in a nationwide rent price fixing scheme by providing software that allowed competing landlords to coordinate pricing decisions.

At the center of the RealPage price fixing lawsuit is the company’s revenue management system, often referred to as YieldStar. Plaintiffs claim this software was used by major property management companies, including Greystar, Blackstone (through its rental housing subsidiaries) and Equity Residential, to align rent prices across competing apartment buildings.

Instead of independently setting rents, landlords allegedly relied on RealPage’s algorithm, which:

• Collected nonpublic rental data from participating landlords, including current rent prices, lease renewals and occupancy rates
• Aggregated that data across competing properties in the same market
• Generated pricing recommendations designed to maximize rent prices and revenue
• Encouraged landlords to follow those recommendations rather than undercut competitors

According to federal regulators and multiple lawsuits, this process effectively replaced normal competition with coordinated pricing decisions driven by a shared algorithm.
