BALTIMORE, MD – Maryland Attorney General Anthony G. Brown has expanded a lawsuit against RealPage and a group of residential landlords, adding four more entities accused of using the company’s software to illegally coordinate rent prices and inflate housing costs for thousands of Maryland residents. The expansion of the lawsuit targets Camden Development Inc., Harbor Group Management Company LLC, Equity Residential Management LLC, and Trinity Property Consultants LLC.
The legal action, originally filed on January 15, 2025, alleges that these landlords colluded to artificially raise rents through the use of RealPage’s revenue management software. This alleged price-fixing involved the exchange of sensitive market information and the collective setting of rental rates, guided by RealPage’s algorithms. This practice is claimed to have led to significant rent increases for numerous Marylanders, with some experiencing monthly hikes of up to $130. The lawsuit further contends that these actions have cost renters millions of dollars collectively.
