“In April 2024, 17 landlords and property management companies filed an antitrust lawsuit against RealPage in federal court in Dallas, Texas. The landlords alleged that RealPage’s YieldStar algorithmic pricing tool allowed property managers to tacitly collude to set rental prices, effectively fixing rents in specific markets and suppressing competition.”

Perhaps they gave you the f-off, we don’t want anyone living in our house anymore number… Either way thats a horrible thing to put someone through.

That is super cool. looks like you’re in a really good spot.

As much as I hate scumlord landlords, to play devils avocado there are certain factors that can cause constant rent rises. namely insurance increases, property taxes, and loan interest rises that may have to be factored in. Continuing to increase rent purly because thats what the market says it should be is a full dick move… But also some blame needs to lie at the feet of the government for carving out tax breaks to encourage rampant speculation on housing prices. Homes should never be investments… there are plenty of other avenues to make money. If the price goes up, it should be a slow gradual increase, not because you can negatively gear etc.
