Renters who paid rent at apartment buildings that used RealPage’s pricing software have until Jan. 29, 2027 to file for a share of a $359,925,000 settlement fund. The first step is searching every address on the settlement’s Property List. The federal court in Nashville has entered final approval, and no payments have gone out yet.
The people affected are anyone in the United States or its territories who paid rent between Oct. 18, 2018 and Nov. 21, 2025 on a multifamily lease at a property licensed to use RealPage revenue-management software. Renters who moved during those seven years need to check each address separately, then file once the lookup is done, because a claim is the only way into the payout.

What is the RealPage settlement fund, and who is paying into it?
The official settlement website says the court “has entered final approval of a $359,925,000 Settlement Fund.” The case is In re RealPage, Inc., Rental Software Antitrust Litigation (No. II), Case No. 3:23-md-03071, in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.
The site lists 44 settling defendants, all of them property owners or managers. Names include Greystar Management Services, Camden Property Trust, Equity Residential, Lincoln Property Co., Mid-America Apartment Communities, Bell Partners, Bozzuto Management and WinnCompanies. Renters accuse the landlords and RealPage of violating antitrust law, and KSAT in San Antonio reports the settling defendants deny wrongdoing and the court has not ruled the allegations true.
Which rent payments count between Oct. 18, 2018 and Nov. 21, 2025?
The settlement class covers people and entities who paid rent directly to an owner, manager or owner-operator of a multifamily property licensed to use RealPage’s revenue-management system. The site names the products as YieldStar, Lease Rent Options and AI Revenue Management. The class period runs from Oct. 18, 2018 through Nov. 21, 2025.
Being a renter in the period is not enough by itself. The building has to have been licensed to use one of those products, which is why the administrator built a lookup. A renter in a small landlord’s duplex, or in a building that never used the software, would not fall in the class on those terms.
What does the Property List check, and what if an address is missing?
The Property List page asks renters to “check whether a rental property appears on the Property List” and says a renter does not need to know every detail to search. The administrator, Angeion Group, runs the page. Searching takes a street address, and the result shows whether the building is tied to the litigation.
A missing address does not close the door. KSAT reports that renters can still submit a claim for review even if a property does not appear in the search results or the result is inconclusive. The administrator may ask for more information during review, so a lease, rent-payment history, bank records or renewal paperwork are worth gathering before starting.
- List every address lived at between Oct. 18, 2018 and Nov. 21, 2025.
- Search each one on the Property List and note the result.
- Find proof of rent: a lease, ledger, bank statement or payment confirmation.
- File online, or return the paper claim form so it is received by the deadline.
Households that split rent among roommates should each look at their own payment records, since the class covers all persons and entities who paid rent, not only the name on the lease.
How does the Jan. 29 claim deadline work?
The settlement site says claims must be submitted online or received no later than 11:59 p.m. EST on Jan. 29, 2027. It calls filing a claim “the only way to be eligible to receive payment.” The windows to opt out of the settlements or object to them have closed, and the Oct. 15, 2026 fairness hearing was already on the calendar.
Filing costs nothing. The site states in capital letters that no one needs to sign up with or pay another attorney, company or individual to file. KSAT also warns that outside filing services may charge fees or take a cut of a renter’s payment, and the administrator has posted a separate notice about third-party filers.
When will RealPage settlement money arrive, and how much?
The settlement site says there will be no payments at this time and that money will be distributed at a later date. No dollar figure is set for an individual renter. KSAT reports that administrative costs and other court-approved expenses must be addressed before distribution, so the final amount depends on the court-approved distribution process.
That leaves a simple calculation for renters. The $359.9 million is a total for the whole class, not a per-person figure, and the number of valid claims will shape each share. Anyone who lived in an apartment complex at any point in the seven-year window is better off checking the list and filing before Jan. 29 than waiting to see what the payout looks like.
Did an old apartment land on the RealPage list?
The detail that trips people up is the old address. A renter who lived in three buildings since 2018 may remember the current one and forget the other two, and the Jan. 29 date is the same for all of them.
“The Money Owed to You Bundle” includes the guide “Open Settlements: How to File,” which covers the four-date rule, the two claim tiers, proof without receipts and chasing a payment, plus the “Claim It Checklist” with a filing checklist and a scam stop-list. All eight guides cost $8 together.
