## Scope

New York State, United States. The law makes it unlawful to knowingly or with reckless disregard facilitate an agreement between or among two or more residential rental property owners or managers not to compete, and defines a coordinating function to include recommending rental prices, lease renewal terms, ideal occupancy levels or other lease terms to a residential rental property owner or manager. The text read is the bill as printed; the chaptered version may differ.

## What this means

A state law now treats rent-recommending software that coordinates landlords as unlawful, so rents must be set competitively.

## What it does not show yet

One state; it does not stop a landlord using software on its own data.

## How to verify it yourself

If you manage property in New York, check whether your pricing tool draws on other owners’ data.
