Landlords and property managers can’t collude on rental pricing. Using new technology to do it doesn’t change that antitrust fundamental.

Unfortunately, entitlement goes both ways for renters and landlords. They think they’re entitled to maximize profit, you think you’re entitled to live in places you can’t afford.
Just unchecked greed all around, and the real people who suffer are the ones living in areas “not good enough” for you. But hey, you should get more before them, right?
