The End Rent Fixing Act of 2025 prohibits rental property owners from using pricing coordination services that collect rent data from multiple landlords and use that information to recommend rental prices, lease terms, or occupancy levels. The bill treats both landlords who use these coordinating services and the companies providing them as violating antitrust law, making their conduct illegal per se under the Sherman Act and Federal Trade Commission Act. The Federal Trade Commission, U.S. Attorney General, and state attorneys general can all enforce the law through civil actions, and individual tenants harmed by violations can sue for triple damages plus legal costs. The legislation aims to prevent what sponsors view as algorithmic or systematic price-fixing in the rental housing market and does not preempt stricter state laws on the same subject.
