Renters would get new power to sue landlords and software companies for manipulating rent prices.
This bill would make it illegal for landlords to use services that coordinate rent prices across multiple properties. It would also ban companies from offering such rent-setting services, treating these actions as illegal price fixing. Renters harmed by these practices could sue for damages.
Today, current law does not explicitly define the use of rent price coordination services or the performance of such services as illegal under antitrust laws for residential homes. This bill would explicitly ban rental property owners from using such services and prohibit companies from offering them, making these actions direct antitrust violations. Renters would gain the right to sue for three times their damages and legal fees, and could bypass arbitration agreements.
