Summary · why it matters

LivCor, a multifamily asset management company owned by Blackstone, has agreed to a $7 million settlement with nine state attorneys general over allegations it used RealPage's algorithmic pricing software to fix rents. The consent judgment, filed June 18 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of North Carolina, still requires court approval. Under the terms, LivCor will stop using any software that relies on competitively sensitive information to set rents and will cooperate in the ongoing prosecution of remaining defendants, while denying any fault or wrongdoing. This is the third settlement in the broader federal price-fixing lawsuit against RealPage, following deals with Cortland in April 2025 and a $7 million settlement with Greystar in November 2025. Litigation continues against RealPage and other property management firms including Camden Property Trust, Willow Bridge Property Co., and Cushman & Wakefield subsidiary Pinnacle Property Management Services.
