Oregon Rent-Fixing Case Brings $7 Million Settlement Over Claims Landlords Used Software to Push Rents Higher

Daily Tidings
Oregon has reached a $7 million settlement with LivCor over allegations that landlords used software to collude on rent prices.

Summary

Oregon Attorney General Dan Rayfield announced a $7 million settlement with LivCor, LLC, resolving claims that the property management company used software to fix rents. The lawsuit alleges that LivCor and other landlords shared competitively sensitive data with RealPage to generate algorithmic pricing recommendations, effectively colluding to eliminate competition. Under the settlement, LivCor must stop using revenue management software that relies on competitors' data, refrain from sharing sensitive pricing information, and implement antitrust compliance programs. This is the second settlement in the ongoing litigation, following a $7 million deal with Greystar in November 2025. The case against RealPage and other defendants, including Camden, Pinnacle, and Willow Bridge, remains ongoing.
