From an "outside the black box" PoV of the rental market, there is very little difference between:
(1) 95% (say) of landlords secretly meet somewhere, conspire, then set their new rent rates together
(2) 95% of landlords secretly meet somewhere, conspire, then all set their new rent rates based on the "individualized" advice of Rent, Loot, & Pillage Consulting Co.
(3) 95% of landlords listen to marketing pitches from RealPage, understand the between-the-lines message that using RealPage's software would be a great "all the added profits, but none of the legal exposure" alternative to a price-fixing conspiracy, and decide to buy & use the software.
