## Scope

United States. The Justice Department announced a proposed settlement requiring RealPage to cease having its software use competitors’ nonpublic, competitively sensitive information to determine rental prices in runtime operation. It says competing companies must make independent pricing decisions, and that its lawsuit continues against property management companies that used the software. The settlement still needed court approval when announced.

## What this means

Federal enforcers are limiting what data rent-setting software may use, keeping pricing an independent decision.

## What it does not show yet

A proposed settlement with one vendor; it does not ban pricing software.

## How to verify it yourself

Ask what data your rent-recommendation tool uses and whether it includes other landlords’ private figures.
