Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser, as part of a bipartisan coalition of nine attorneys general, announced a $7 million settlement with LivCor, LLC for its role in an algorithmic rent-fixing scheme. LivCor allegedly used RealPage's revenue management software to share and gather confidential pricing information with competing landlords, artificially inflating rental prices. The settlement requires LivCor to cease using such software, pay $7 million in penalties, and cooperate in ongoing litigation against RealPage.
LivCor must pay $7 million in penalties and fees to the states, cease use of any revenue management software that uses competitors' nonpublic pricing data, refrain from sharing competitively sensitive pricing information, establish an antitrust compliance and training program, accept a court-appointed monitor if using uncertified third-party pricing algorithms, and cooperate fully with ongoing litigation.
In-house legal teams should review vendor agreements with property management software providers (like RealPage) to ensure clauses prohibit the sharing of competitively sensitive nonpublic pricing data. Key clauses to examine include data processing agreements, confidentiality provisions, and restrictions on using aggregated competitor data for pricing recommendations. Additionally, customer lease agreements should be reviewed for any references to algorithmic pricing, and antitrust compliance training programs should be mandated in vendor contracts. The consent decree's requirement for a court-appointed monitor if using uncertified third-party algorithms suggests that contracts should include certification requirements for any pricing software used.

Colorado Attorney General Phil Weiser announced a settlement with Avail Property Management Inc. and PK Management, LLC resolving allegations that the companies denied prospective tenants housing based on criminal history information prohibited under Colorado's Rental Application Fairness Act, including arrests, deferred judgments, and convictions older than five years (some more than 20 years old). The companies, which managed nearly 4,000 rental units across Colorado, relied on a third-party background screening service despite legal prohibitions. Under the settlement, they must change screening practices, review vendor recommendations rather than relying on them automatically, submit to two years of compliance reporting, and pay $300,000.
Attorney General Weiser joined a coalition of attorneys general in suing to block new unlawful conditions on Title X funding imposed by HHS, which would penalize states and providers that refuse to abandon nondiscrimination initiatives or conform to the administration's ideological vision of family planning. The lawsuit argues the conditions conflict with federal law, violate the Administrative Procedure Act, and are unconstitutionally vague.
