RealPage and the landlords (collectively “defendants”) allegedly agreed to set rents for multifamily housing properties statewide based on RealPage’s algorithmic pricing software and to exchange sensitive, non-public information to align their prices and avoid competition that would otherwise keep rent prices down.

In recognition of this awesome development, I promise not to shit talk about NJ for the rest of the day. Hopefully I don’t have to make any left turns…

No, you’re allowed to bad mouth left turns at all times, they suck ass. We just ask you remember more exists than the shore and the north.

Also a sacrifice to the jersey devil wouldn’t be remiss, yah know.
