## Summary

**ban on rent coordination and price-fixing** The End Rent Fixing Act of 2025 would create a federal ban on rent coordination and price-fixing. It would target companies and services that aggregate rental data, offer pricing recommendations, or otherwise help owners align rents across markets. - Renters and families: Would gain protection from coordinated rent hikes and a private right to sue for treble damages, attorney fees, and litigation costs. - Rental property owners and coordinators: Would be prohibited from performing coordinating functions, sharing data, or giving pricing recommendations that enable rent manipulation. The bill defines who counts as a "coordinator" and what activities are covered. - Enforcement and states: The Federal Trade Commission, the U.S. Attorney General, and state attorneys general could bring enforcement actions. The bill operates alongside federal antitrust law and allows state laws to provide greater protections where they apply.
