The state says this wasn’t accidental; it was a coordinated effort to keep rents artificially high, forcing families to pay more. LivCor’s now banned from using such pricing software, must help fight ongoing lawsuits against RealPage and others, and will roll out new training to prevent repeat offenses. This is the second major settlement in the case, following a similar $7 million deal with Greystar. The fight for fair rental markets isn’t over—lawsuits continue against RealPage and more firms, all aiming to stop tech from becoming a shield for price gouging.
