What Is the Camden Property Trust Lawsuit About? In re: RealPage, Inc., Rental Software Antitrust Litigation (No. II), No. 3:23-md-03071

Multiple putative class action lawsuits accused RealPage, Inc. and owners and operators of multifamily housing — including Camden Property Trust — of colluding to raise rents through the use of RealPage’s revenue management software. The cases were centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.

The core of the antitrust allegation is straightforward: RealPage’s software, formerly marketed under the name YieldStar, collected private leasing data from competing landlords and fed it into an algorithm that then recommended rent prices. Plaintiffs argue this allowed competing apartment companies — who are legally required to set prices independently — to effectively act as a cartel, pushing rents higher than a free market would allow. This alleged conduct touches the Sherman Antitrust Act, which prohibits price-fixing conspiracies among competitors.

If you rented an apartment from Camden between October 2018 and November 2025 and your rent kept climbing year after year, the plaintiffs in this case argue that RealPage’s algorithm is part of the reason why. Camden is one of the largest apartment REITs in the country, with communities across Texas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Arizona, and more — meaning the potential class of affected renters is very large.

Who Qualifies for the Camden Property Trust Rent Settlement?

Figuring out if you’re in this case doesn’t require a lawyer. If you paid rent for an apartment owned or managed by certain large property managers — including Camden Property Trust — between October 18, 2018 and November 21, 2025, you may be included in the RealPage Rental Software Antitrust Settlement.

Here is the eligibility checklist based on what courts have confirmed so far:

You may qualify if:

• You paid rent directly to Camden Property Trust or one of its affiliated entities at any point from October 18, 2018 through November 21, 2025
• You rented a multifamily residential apartment — meaning an apartment in a complex, not a single-family home
• You paid rent in the United States or its territories

You likely do NOT qualify if:

• You are a defendant in this litigation or a related party to Camden Property Trust or RealPage
• You are a government entity
• Your landlord was not among the named defendants — this settlement covers Camden specifically, not every apartment company that ever used RealPage

The final eligibility criteria will be confirmed in the official class notice, which the court will distribute after granting preliminary approval.

How Much Can You Get from the Camden Settlement?

The settlement amount will be inclusive of the recovery amount for class members, fees for the plaintiffs’ counsel, and the costs of administering the settlement. That means the $53,000,000 does not all go to renters — attorneys’ fees and administrative costs come out of that fund first.

The per-person payout amount is TBD — the court has not yet approved a distribution plan. What the final number looks like depends on how many valid claims are filed and how the court decides to divide the remaining funds. Since antitrust laws provide for treble damages, plaintiffs argue that renters could theoretically recover as much as 15–21% of the total rent paid to any RealPage subscriber since 2018 — though actual settlement payouts are typically lower than the maximum damages a trial could award.

The bottom line for renters: the legal settlement payout you receive will not be confirmed until after the court approves the plan of allocation and the claims period closes. Filing a claim costs nothing, and you do not need an attorney to participate. If you want to understand your individual options, a free legal consultation with a consumer rights lawyer is always available to you at no cost before you decide anything.
