A settlement fund has been established, totaling nearly $360 million. This fund may lead to refunds for renters who overpaid due to allegedly inflated prices. Defendants in a class action lawsuit have denied any wrongdoing, but have agreed to settle and change their practices.

The lawsuit claims that certain companies violated antitrust laws by conspiring to fix rental prices. A court has not ruled on the matter, instead allowing the settlement to move forward.

Further information on the settlement and the rights of tenants and landlords is available from the source.
