Conference Call: Examining the DOJ’s Proposed RealPage Settlement

Wed, Feb 18, 2026 | 11:00 am ET

On Wednesday, February 18 at 11:00 a.m. ET, The Capitol Forum will host a conference call with David O. Fisher, Senior Counsel at the American Antitrust Institute. He will be joined by Executive Editor Teddy Downey.

This timely discussion will examine the Department of Justice’s proposed settlement with RealPage and assess whether its terms effectively prevent coordinated pricing through algorithmic software. Drawing from his recent commentary, Closing Costs: A Critical Examination of the DOJ’s Proposed RealPage Settlement, Mr. Fisher will analyze key provisions of the proposed agreement and highlight areas where ambiguity or structural limitations could undermine its intended impact.

We’ll also touch on topics such as:

  • Whether RealPage may continue using real-time competitor data to generate pricing recommendations or recommend supracompetitive prices
  • Exceptions allowing the use of owner-inputted data and other categories of information within pricing recommendation models
  • The continued ability of competing landlords to use RealPage to establish common pricing rules
  • Potential gaps in the settlement’s structure that could allow coordinated pricing practices to persist
  • Recommendations for strengthening enforcement, including clarifications to the settlement and the appointment of an independent compliance monitor

We hope you can join us for what promises to be an insightful and thought-provoking conversation.
