> I’m skeptical that analysis reports telling landlords to raise rent are illegal, but writing in the contract that you have to follow the rules of the association is obvious collusion/cartel behavior. Very seldom collusion is so blatant to be written in contracts. "Reports" and "recommendations" and "market color" are well established ways for competitors to communicate and coordinate illegally. Without additional evidence it would be difficult to build a case from that only, but large conspiracies leave large traces. The FBI will find something, if the conspiracy existed.
