Arizona Attorney General Announces $1 Million Settlement with Weidner Property Management LLC in Rental Price-Fixing Case

PHOENIX – Attorney General Kris Mayes today announced a settlement with Weidner Property Management LLC, resolving allegations that the company participated in an unlawful scheme to inflate rental prices through the use of revenue management software. The settlement is part of the State’s broader lawsuit against RealPage, Inc. and multiple landlords accused of engaging in anti-competitive practices that harmed Arizona renters.

“Arizona renters deserve a fair and competitive housing market—not one manipulated by secret algorithms and backroom deals,” said Attorney General Mayes. “This settlement not only stops harmful practices but also provides direct assistance to renters. My office will continue to hold companies accountable and restore transparency and fairness to the rental market.”

Weidner has already terminated its revenue management contracts with RealPage. Under the agreement, Weidner will:

• Support renters: Weidner will pay $1 million to Wildfire, an Arizona nonprofit that provides rental assistance through Arizona’s community action agencies. The funds will be earmarked for current and former tenants of Weidner properties, with $500,000 donated by February 28, 2026, and the remaining $500,000 by January 31, 2027.
• Refrain from anti-competitive practices: Weidner is prohibited from using revenue management products that rely on competitors’ nonpublic data or that incentivize acceptance of algorithm-driven rent recommendations.
• Renounce data-sharing: The company must not share with or solicit competitively sensitive rental data from other property managers or owners.
• Ensure compliance: Weidner will provide annual certifications and reports to the Attorney General’s Office verifying compliance.

The settlement stems from Arizona’s lawsuit against RealPage, Inc. and several corporate landlords, alleging violations of the Arizona Uniform State Antitrust Act and the Arizona Consumer Fraud Act. The complaint asserts that RealPage’s revenue management products facilitated a conspiracy among landlords to fix rental prices in Arizona.

Attorney General Mayes will continue pursuing claims against other defendants in the case to ensure accountability and protect Arizona consumers.

The State will dismiss its claims against Weidner. The agreement does not constitute an admission of wrongdoing by Weidner. A copy of the settlement agreement is available here.
