RealPage Federal Antitrust Class Action

Hausfeld LLP has been appointed co-lead counsel in a federal antitrust class action representing renters of residential units nationwide against RealPage, Inc. (“RealPage”) and many of RealPage’s property management clients (“Property Defendants”, listed below) (collectively, “Defendants”).

Plaintiffs allege that Defendants coordinated to drive rents up to unprecedented levels, exacerbating the nation’s affordable housing crisis. The complaint asserts that the Property Defendants, among others, conspired to use RealPage’s revenue management software to set rental prices and restrict the supply of available rental units in major metropolitan areas across the United States. Plaintiffs contend that by using this conspiracy to stifle competition, Defendants inflated rents to supra-competitive levels and unlawfully suppressed the supply of rental housing, injuring the plaintiffs and thousands of renters across the United States.
