A comment on I saw RealPage's crappy rent-jacking-up software so you don't have to. Parent comment
There's no need for coercion. The landlords themselves are greedy (I don't think any more so than any other investor class).
Landlords being greedy isn't really a problem. They're going to try to get the highest rent. That's capitalism.
It's supposed to work in a COMPETITIVE market.
RealPage fixing prices breaks that. It's clearly causing consumer harm and anti-competitive.
