Landlords use RealPage to jack up rents, often with the majority of units in a city using the software, allowing it to raise rents in unison - leading to FBI raids and a criminal investigation Turns out RealPage is the brain-child of Harlan Crow, most famous for taking Clarence Thomas on vacations

FBI raid on real estate company linked to Harlan Crow's RealPage rental price fixingwww.dailykos.com A tip of the hat to David Cay Johnston, who opened his interview on the Mark Thompson Show yesterday by noting a story that, so far as I can tell at this time, has been completely blacked out of the n...

As a RealPage victim I am sitting here blinking slowly and crossing fingers and toes for real action. 15% over two years and was literally told by my landlords to pay or get out after the 11% hike. Yeah. I can get out...to another company using RealPages. PLEASE take them down.

Last year my apartment complex was taken over by new management who use RealPage, and when it came time to renew our lease they tried to increase the rent by 30%!!! Saying it was the market rent. I got it down to "only" 10%. Not looking forward to what they pull this year.

Most RealPages "members" won't negotiate at all. When I moved in, this place was run by people who promised me a reasonable annual limit and said they would always negotiate. The owners fired them, brought in their own people. I moved here to escape RealPages. It's impossible without buying.

They were trying to raise our rent to significantly higher than the rate they were advertising for the floor plan, which is probably why I got them to lower it. The rate they're currently advertising is *still* much lower than what they tried to renew us at! It's all a scam.

Oh, that's common. It's the "You don't want to spend hundreds of dollars and a month moving every year" penalty.
