Upvoting because I think you're making an interesting point. But I'm not so convinced that residential landlords will push back on this. They'll let RealPage take the fall, and go back to price gouging and colluding the old-fashioned way, quietly and in private. Nor do I think politicians are so beholden to any one lobby that they'd risk torches and pitchforks. RealPage got some very bad press recently and people are very very upset when they go to look at their bank accounts. Much easier to kill off RealPage and keep people from getting too riled up. Therefore I think this will go through and RealPage will be penalized into oblivion, but landlords and politicians will both know that it was a worthy sacrifice to keep the profit flowing in the long term.
