Also relevant to:Renter

Where it is in the process

Plain-English Summary

This bill would prohibit real estate lessors and service providers from using algorithms to coordinate rental prices or terms for residential properties. It defines "service provider" as someone who collects and analyzes rent data to recommend prices to landlords. Violations would be considered unfair competition and could lead to legal action, with successful plaintiffs potentially recovering damages, attorney fees, and costs.
