AG Weiser and AG Jackson announced that they have secured an agreement with corporate landlord Cortland Management not to use non-public data from algorithm-driven rent-setting software RealPage. As part of the settlement, the company agrees not to use any non-public data from other property management companies to set rents, not to pool or combine non-public data from Cortland-run properties with different owners, and not to share such data with any non-Cortland property owners. Additionally, they will no longer be allowed to use any software that incorporates artificial rent floors or price decrease limits.
“Coloradans who are struggling to make ends meet are getting hammered by high rent prices, and landlords that collude using private data from RealPage are a part of the problem. We are always looking at collaborative solutions when it comes to ensuring a competitive and fair marketplace, and I’m glad that Cortland will no longer be using non-public data from RealPage or software like it to set rents. I will continue to hold accountable any landlord that engages in irresponsible, harmful, and anticompetitive conduct that harms renters by colluding to jack up rents." – AG Weiser
