AG Kris Mayes sent a letter to U.S. AG Pam Bondi today urging her to continue the Department of Justice’s antitrust lawsuit against RealPage, Inc. and several major corporate landlords for allegedly colluding to illegally inflate rents through an algorithmic price-fixing scheme. “Millions of renters—including many in Arizona’s two largest cities—have been harmed by this unlawful conduct,” wrote Attorney General Mayes. “This scheme stifled competition, created a de facto rental monopoly, and drove up housing costs for working families. That’s why my office sued nine corporate landlords and RealPage for price-fixing in Arizona. But this is a national crisis, which is why the DOJ, and 10 other states also took legal action. The federal lawsuit must continue.”
