> RealPage discourages bargaining with renters It's more than 'discourage'. RealPage considers (their own words) landlords to be "cheating" when they deviate from the recommended rates. Landlords are contractually obligated to follow RP recommendations 95%+ of the time: > 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. RealPage is simple fucking cartel software.
