On the RealPage Settlement

The Bull Moose Project applauds Assistant Attorney General Gail Slater and the Department of Justice for taking decisive action to protect Americans from anticompetitive practices in the housing market through the proposed RealPage settlement. This move represents a crucial step in holding corporations accountable when they misuse nonpublic data and coordinate rental prices to the detriment of everyday Americans.

The Justice Department’s efforts under AAG Slater’s leadership demonstrate a renewed commitment to restoring balance, fairness, competition, and accountability in the economy.

By pursuing this settlement, the Antitrust Division implements safeguards for renters from predatory coordination practices and enforces product changes on RealPage. We strongly urge policymakers to build on this momentum and continue reining in harmful practices that stand in the way of working Americans, including taking action on algorithmic pricing and driving down housing costs.
