Are corporate landlords using AI for rent price fixing? Competition Bureau investigating

'Finally, the renters in this country are going to get some transparency and shine a light on this rent price fixing,' says B.C. NDP MP Bonita Zarrillo



The Competition Bureau is investigating whether Canadian landlords are using AI-driven algorithms to set rental prices. The practice involves tracking competitors' rates, and an American lawsuit alleges companies used RealPage's YieldStar platform to share sensitive data and inflate rents. The investigation was first reported by The Breach, and the bureau has confirmed it is looking into the matter. Political figures have called for transparency and bans on such practices, with hopes for greater fairness in rental markets.
