I think you're missing that in order for your employee to do that work they would have to access public information, which is also available to renters. If on the other hand, you got an employee to call up landlords and get the rental pricing for every one of their units in exchange for the rent of all your units, and then agreed to set your pricing together - that's textbook price fixing. There's nothing illegal about collating publicly available information and selling it to others as a service. There is something illegal about collating private information and using it to advise many competing businesses what their prices should be.
