August 8, 2023 / no comments

Many of the nation’s largest multifamily players remain on the hook in a massive class-action suit involving rent fixing allegations after a Tennessee federal judge ruled against motions to dismiss the claims Monday.
Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr., chief U.S. District Court judge for the Middle District of Tennessee, denied a series of motions asserting the case against property management software company RealPage and some of the biggest names in commercial real estate should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction and failure to state a claim.
The judge also denied a request to stay discovery pending his ruling on the motions.
