$359.9 Million: Court Gives Final Approval to Landlord Settlements Over Rents Set by RealPage's Pricing Software

On October 15, 2026, the federal court in Nashville (Middle District of Tennessee) gave final approval to $359,925,000 in settlements in the RealPage rental software antitrust case. The money comes from 37 settlements with 41 landlords and property managers, including Greystar, Equity Residential, Camden and Mid-America Apartment Communities.

Renters alleged that these landlords used RealPage's pricing software, including YieldStar and AI Revenue Management, and fed it private pricing and occupancy data, which let them coordinate and push rents higher. The class covers people who rented at properties using that software between October 18, 2018 and November 21, 2025.

The settling landlords deny wrongdoing, and the court did not decide who was right. RealPage itself is not one of the settling defendants, and the case continues against the companies that did not settle. Beyond the cash, the settling landlords agreed to change how they set prices.

Renters can file a claim until January 29, 2027 at the official settlement website. No money will be paid until any appeals are resolved.

Why this matters to youNo jargon — just what it means

Imagine every lemonade stand on your street secretly tells the same calculator how much it charges. The calculator then tells all of them what to charge tomorrow. Nobody ever meets in a back room, but somehow the price keeps going up on every corner. That's what renters said happened to their apartments, and landlords just agreed to pay $359.9 million to settle it.

Here's why that's a big deal: "the software told us the price" sounded like nobody was to blame. This settlement says the people using the software still answer for what it does with their private information. The landlords didn't admit anything, and the software company wasn't part of this deal. But if you rented an apartment between 2018 and 2025, there may be money with your name on it, and the deadline is January 29, 2027.
