> What do you gain from making people think we can't or shouldn't stop this? Because they aren't doing anything illegal. They are merely facilitating price discovery. If they really were creating a cartel of landlords, then they would be selling a broken product. For example, for simplicity's sake, let's say that a city has a lot of landlords, but all their units are identical and they all follow the RealPage algorithm for price suggestions. Realpage suggests that they charge an exorbitant $10000 per unit, which leads to only 50% of all units being occupied, so your expected value of $5000 per unit. However, if you're a landlord, you'd be better off renting your units at $9000, leading to 90% occupancy. Your expected profit per unit is $8100, so you're actually much better off without the algorithm.
