- A group of lawsuits accuse large landlords of price-fixing the market rate of rent in the United States
- A complaint filed by Washington D.C.’s Attorney General alleges 14 landlords in the district are sharing competitively sensitive data through RealPage, a real estate software provider

A group of renters in the U.S. say their landlords are using software to deliver inflated rent hikes.
“We’ve been told as tenants by employees of Equity that the software takes empathy out of the equation. So they can charge whatever the software tells them to charge,” said Kevin Weller, a tenant at Portside Towers since 2021.
Tenants say the management started to increase prices substantially after giving renters concessions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
My uncle is a landlord.
He has NEVER had to pay a security deposit back. The judges in this small town always side with him.
Justice comes for everyone eventually 😘
Does it though? I can point to thousands of people that justice never came for.
I personally believe that when Christ returns, he’ll establish a fair equitable and just society here on earth, then resurrect everyone, inviting them to participate.
In that society justice will be served, but that’s not really hope for people suffering now.
Yeah we have to build the torment nexus.
Bro, hell isnt in the bible, death is just death, a ton of verses describe it as ‘sleep’.
Death very obviously isn’t justice. It’s just sleep.
… the torment nexus isn’t justice either but it’s fun to think about.
It certainly does.
You might have misread that 🤭
