That's not in the lawsuit, so I don't think it is a valuable addition to the conversation. If it was even implied lawyers would be eager to include it.

This is a 'complaint'. There is zero requirement to include all evidence that they intend to reference in court. That being said, it absolutely is referenced: > RealPage actively polices Defendants’ agreement to ensure compliance. > This data includes the rents that Defendant Landlords actually charge, providing RealPage with a mechanism for assessing whether Landlords “cheat” on their agreement by deviating from the rent dictated by RealPage’s RM Software. > Their agreement is reflected in existing documents, has been publicly acknowledged by cartel members, and is closely policed to ensure compliance. > Deviations from the RealPage-generated rent are referred to as “overrides.” Consistent with their agreement to impose rents generated by RealPage RM Software nearly all the time, Defendants agreed to limit overrides. For example, a RealPage LRO training document states: “Overrides should be few and far between.” Similarly, internal RealPage LRO training documents teach cartel members’ regional managers to beware of “Override Overload” or “rogue” leasing agents who too frequently override the LRO-generated pricing. > An internal presentation created by Defendant Greystar explicitly acknowledges that RealPage RM Software users should each seek to accept at least 95% of the RealPage-generated prices, emphasizing that “Discipline [o]f using revenue management increases more consistent outcomes.” > Former Greystar employees have similarly confirmed that negotiating rents other than those set by the RealPage RM Software was unacceptable. > Even where Participating Landlords do not enable auto-accept, most landlords cannot, on their own, charge rents other than those generated by RealPage’s RM Software— landlords can only “propose an override.” The landlord must then provide a written business justification for why they wish to depart from the RealPage-generated rent. Sounds like it's very much in the lawsuit. I'm not sure how you come to any other conclusion. It's a core tenet across multiple pages of it. In your previous comment you try to imply it's just "encouraged". And now you're making statements that are demonstrably incorrect (and I found those examples with less than five minutes of skimming the court complaint, so it's hard to imagine how you missed them all).
