Have You Rented an Apartment in the Last Few Years? You Could Be Owed Thousands.

Across the country, millions of renters have faced skyrocketing rent prices—prices that may have been manipulated by software instead of market forces.

RealPage, a property management software company, has been at the center of a growing legal and ethical controversy. Their software uses algorithmic pricing, pulling data from competing property management companies—including rent prices and occupancy rates—to recommend rent increases. The result? Artificially inflated rents, reduced competition, and no room to negotiate for hardworking renters.

 The Problem:
Multiple lawsuits claim that RealPage facilitated illegal information-sharing between landlords, helping them collectively raise rents higher than they ever could in a fair, competitive housing market. This has led to:

Unaffordable housing costs
Reduced transparency and negotiation power for tenants
Rent spikes during and after COVID-19
Tenants unknowingly overpaying by thousands of dollars

 Our Demands:
We, the renters and supporters of housing fairness, demand that:

RealPage be shut down and held accountable for anti-competitive practices.
Landlords who used RealPage's pricing tools face legal consequences for manipulating rent.
Renters receive compensation for overpaid rent, including reparations for financial stress, displacement, and emotional suffering.
Rent prices be rolled back to pre-COVID levels, reflecting a fair and truly competitive housing market.
A federal investigation into rent-setting algorithms and corporate collusion in the housing market.

Why This Matters:
Housing is a basic human right, not a game for profit-maximizing algorithms. By signing this petition, you're taking a stand against price manipulation and fighting for accountability, fairness, and affordable housing.
