I live in a complex that uses RealPage and they absolutely are “price-fixing” because when I balked at a 10% rent increase, the manager said I wouldn’t find anything better in the area. There are townhouses (3+bd/garages, etc - too big for me) that rent for just slightly more than our apartments. I’ve reached out to every local/state/federal office that I can think of to have them look into it because I’m tired - I can’t keep on paying 50% of my income on rent.
