The Justice Department told the federal court in North Carolina on Nov. 5 that its proposed final judgment with property manager Willow Bridge, part of the government's RealPage pricing case, remains an appropriate remedy and should be entered as proposed. DOJ received two public comments, both from individual renters, asking for changes such as limits on renewal pricing, a broader audit, a public annual report and monetary relief. The department rejected each request, noting that the judgment's data limits also apply to renewals, that it can inspect Willow Bridge's software code and that the complaint did not seek restitution.
Why it matters
The judgment's terms, including vendor compliance certifications and employee audits, outline the controls the government expects from operators that use pricing software.
