There is a lot more in this 100 page complaint but three things are clear. 7/7 1) RealPage must be shut down. 2) RealPage has been inflating rents by stifling competition throughout the country. 3) If RealPage is not stopped they will be in more markets/cities very soon.

As I’ve studied tenant unions for the last 4 years, I’ve gotten my fair share of blank stares from other scholars who wonder about the value of the work. This Tressie McMillan Cottom piece captures some of my reasons for devoting energy to building knowledge about & for tenant organizing👇🏾

According to Eviction Lab, Clark County Nevada has one of the highest eviction rates in the country. There have been 190,133 filings since March 2020, higher than some states’ totals. We can get to the root of this problem by increasing Southern NV’s federal housing vouchers.

Denver County had 1,641 eviction filings in August. That’s 3,700 people who faced a lawsuit trying to remove them from their home. We cant solve homelessness if we can’t stop a historic (and growing) number of evictions.
