I worked for a company that started using YieldStar back in 2006 and at least back then there was no contractual requirement to use the recommended prices. RealPage did heavily push the idea that you needed to work within YieldStar at all times. If a manager disagreed with a recommended price, our in-house revenue management would work with the manager to see if there is a configuration error in YieldStar (wrong amenities, wrong unit type, wrong target vacancy, etc). If there isn't a configuration error, then the recommended price would usually stand.
