Except that's not quite what's happening here. RealPage sets the price that they "suggest" landlords should pay. The landlords had to accept these prices, or ask for approval if they wanted to charge differently. I don't know how often these requests were approved or even requested, though.

Afaik last time I read about this, if the landlord refused to accept more than some % of the requests for increase (around 20% iirc), they would be kicked out of this cartel program.

It’s cartel behavior.
