RealPage Settles Federal Lawsuit Over Rent-Fixing Claims
November 25, 2025 - 05:49
RealPage has reached a settlement with the Department of Justice (DOJ) regarding allegations that its technology was utilized to artificially inflate rental prices in the housing market. As part of the agreement, the company will implement independent monitoring to ensure compliance with fair rental practices. Notably, RealPage has not admitted to any wrongdoing in this settlement.
The lawsuit, which raised concerns about the potential for collusion among landlords using RealPage's software, highlighted the broader issues of affordability and accessibility in the rental market. Critics argue that tools designed to optimize rental pricing may inadvertently contribute to rising housing costs, exacerbating the challenges faced by tenants.
The settlement is seen as a significant step toward addressing these allegations and promoting transparency in the rental industry. By committing to independent oversight, RealPage aims to restore confidence among consumers and regulators while navigating the complexities of the evolving housing landscape. The outcome of this case could have lasting implications for how technology is used in real estate.
