RealPage rent price-fixing settlement pays a pro-rata share of $359.9 million based on rent paid, no lease needed, by January 29, 2027
Last checked July 28, 2026
Thirty-seven property management companies, including Greystar, Lincoln Property, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Avenue5, and Equity Residential, agreed to pay a combined $359.9 million to settle claims they used RealPage software to coordinate rents. Anyone who paid rent at a covered building between October 18, 2018 and November 21, 2025 can file for a pro-rata share.
The claim deadline is January 29, 2027. No lease or receipts are required; you self-certify your rental history under penalty of perjury. The case is In re RealPage Rental Software Antitrust Litigation No. II in the Middle District of Tennessee, and the defendants admit no wrongdoing.
Filing is free on the official site. Payout is a discovery app, not a law firm, and cannot guarantee an amount.
How the payout amount is decided
Each share is proportional to the rent you paid during the covered period, relative to every other claimant. Someone who paid $1,800 a month for six years at a Greystar building carries far more weight than someone who paid $900 for one year. Fees and costs come out first. The total number of valid claims sets the final ratio, so no estimate exists until January 29, 2027 has passed. The administrator may ask for verification later.
Who qualifies
- You paid rent on at least one multifamily apartment in the U.S. between October 18, 2018 and November 21, 2025.
- Your landlord or manager used RealPage's LRO, YieldStar, or AIRM while you rented.
- You never needed a direct relationship with RealPage. Individuals and businesses both qualify.
When money arrives
The fairness hearing is October 15, 2026, three months before claims close. Nothing is paid until after that approval, after any appeals, and after the January 29, 2027 deadline lets the administrator total the claims. Realistically that is 2027.
How to file
Go to RealPageRentalSettlement.com, enter each rental address, your lease dates, and approximate monthly rent for the covered period, pick a payment method, and submit before January 29, 2027. Or let Payout file it for you, free.
Questions about the RealPage Rent Price-Fixing settlement
How much will renters get from the RealPage settlement?
A pro-rata share of the $359.9 million net fund based on rent you paid from October 18, 2018 to November 21, 2025, relative to all claimants. No fixed amount exists.
Do I need my old leases?
No. You self-certify addresses, dates, and approximate rent under penalty of perjury, though the administrator may request verification later.
How do I know if my building used RealPage?
The claim form asks for your addresses and the administrator checks them against the defendants' records. Having no direct contact with RealPage does not disqualify you.
Is this the only one you are in?
Probably not. Payout checks nearly 100 open settlements against what you have bought and where you have lived, then files the ones you qualify for. Free. The administrator pays you.
