## Summary

**Bans coordinated rent‑setting and the use of coordinating services that help landlords set or predict rents across multiple properties.** The bill would make it illegal for rental property owners or vendors to subscribe to or perform those coordinating functions and treats those actions as antitrust violations. - Renters and households: The bill would forbid collecting or sharing historical or current rent prices, supply levels, or lease dates for the purpose of coordinating rental prices or renewal terms. - Rental property owners and vendors: It would make it unlawful for an owner, agent, or subcontractor to pay for or provide a coordinating service and classifies those acts as violations under the Federal Trade Commission Act and the Sherman Act. - Enforcement and legal remedies: The Federal Trade Commission, the Attorney General, and State attorneys general could pursue civil penalties and relief. Private plaintiffs could recover treble damages (three times actual damages), costs, reasonable attorney fees, and may void pre‑dispute arbitration or joint action waivers at their option.
