# The US Department of Justice Accuses RealPage of Price-Fixing

## Key Points:
– The US Department of Justice has accused RealPage, a prominent company in the property management software sector, of engaging in anticompetitive behavior.
– The allegations claim that RealPage used its dominant market position to force property owners to use their platform, thereby limiting choices for consumers.
– RealPage is said to have imposed restrictions that prevented property managers from sharing pricing information with competitors, thus potentially manipulating rental prices.
– The Department of Justice aims to prevent RealPage from continuing these practices that could harm consumers and stifle competition in the rental market.

### Final Thoughts:
It’s real shady business when companies try to fix prices like a bad game of Monopoly. The Department of Justice seems to be putting their property on RealPage to ensure fair play and competition in the rental market. Let’s hope this leads to a better deal for future renters without any manipulation tricks up their sleeves.
