Klobuchar Statement on Department of Justice Antitrust Lawsuit Against RealPage

Statement

“Housing is the single biggest expense for American families and RealPage has used its algorithms to help landlords fix rental prices and limit competition, driving up the cost of housing and limiting supply. I have long called for common sense action to address this problem and now the Justice Department is taking it on. Today’s antitrust lawsuit by the Justice Department is a major step toward holding RealPage accountable and demonstrates how aggressive enforcement of our antitrust laws helps American families. I’ll keep fighting to make sure our antitrust enforcers have resources they need to protect Americans from anticompetitive conduct and to close loopholes in our laws to prevent algorithmic tools from being used for price fixing.”
