RealPage, states tussle over federal rent price-fixing settlement
Ten state attorneys general, from California, Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, Oregon, Tennessee and Washington, filed a response on September 15 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina opposing RealPage's argument that its settlement with the Justice Department moots the states' Sherman Act claims. RealPage had told the court the settlement reached at the end of 2025 resolved the same claims. The states wrote that none of the claims against RealPage, Camden or Pinnacle "have been rendered moot by the agreed-upon Final Judgment entered as a compromise between the United States and RealPage, to which the States are not parties."
The states sued alongside the federal government in the original DOJ antitrust case; the Justice Department settled with RealPage at the end of 2025 without the states joining.
