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.

The newly named defendants are now included alongside eight other major residential landlords that were part of the initial lawsuit. These landlords are accused of operating across more than 30 apartment complexes situated in Baltimore City and the counties of Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, and Prince George’s. The Attorney General’s office aims to hold these entities accountable for the alleged unlawful rent increases and to establish safeguards to prevent similar practices in the future.
The lawsuit is currently proceeding in the Circuit Court for Baltimore City. The Attorney General’s office has stated its commitment to securing complete relief for affected Maryland residents and implementing measures to protect renters from what is described as costly and unlawful schemes facilitated by technology.
