Texas renters who lived in certain multifamily properties may be eligible to participate in proposed class-action settlements involving rental-pricing software from RealPage. The proposed settlements would establish a $359,925,000 settlement fund if they receive final court approval.
The case involves allegations that apartment owners and managers used RealPage revenue-management systems in ways that violated federal and state antitrust laws and inflated multifamily rents. The settling defendants deny wrongdoing, and the court has not decided who was right or wrong.
Who May Be Eligible?
According to the official court-authorized settlement website, the settlement class generally includes people and entities in the United States and its territories who paid rent on at least one multifamily residential lease at a property subject to a license for certain RealPage revenue-management systems during the period from October 18, 2018 through November 21, 2025.
The systems identified by the settlement include Revenue Management Solutions, Lease Rent Options (LRO), YieldStar (YS), and AI Revenue Management (AIRM).
Important Deadlines
- September 22, 2026: Deadline to exclude yourself from (opt out of) the settlements.
- September 22, 2026: Deadline to object to the settlements.
- October 15, 2026: Fairness hearing.
- January 29, 2027: Deadline to file a claim.
Submitting a claim is the only way to be eligible to receive a payment from these settlements. However, no payments are being made at this time. Money would be distributed later only if the court grants final approval.
How to Check Your Rental Property
The settlement administrator provides a property search on the official settlement website. Renters can use it to check whether a former or current rental address appears on the property list. The settlement administrator also notes that a renter may still submit a claim for consideration even if a property does not appear on the list or the search result is inconclusive.
Watch Out for Settlement Scams
Large settlements often attract third-party companies offering to file claims for consumers in exchange for a fee or a percentage of a potential payment. The official settlement administrator specifically warns that you do not need to hire or pay another attorney, company, or individual to file a claim.
Before providing your Social Security number, banking information, lease documents, or other personal information to anyone claiming to represent the settlement, verify that you are using the official court-authorized website.
What Renters Should Keep
If you rented an apartment during the settlement period, consider preserving records that could help document where and when you rented. These might include leases, renewal agreements, rent receipts, bank or credit-card records showing rental payments, emails from a property manager, and move-in or move-out documents.
The Bottom Line for Texas Renters
This is a proposed settlement, not a finding that RealPage or the settling property owners and managers violated the law. But with a potential settlement fund of nearly $360 million and a January 29, 2027 claim deadline, Texas renters who lived in multifamily housing between October 2018 and November 2025 may want to determine whether their property and rental history could qualify.
