Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown has filed a lawsuit against a real estate technology company and six major landlords, accusing them of colluding to inflate rent prices. The lawsuit claims that the defendants used unfair and deceptive practices to artificially raise rents, harming tenants and violating state law. The case highlights the growing concern over rent price gouging and the need for affordable housing. With the rise of online real estate platforms, regulators are increasingly scrutinizing the industry for anti-competitive practices, such as price fixing and rent inflation. The lawsuit seeks to hold the defendants accountable for their alleged actions and protect the rights of tenants.
