IANAL but wouldn't a judge look at that and just say it's wage fixing with extra steps?

State attorney general could get it to a court and stopped, but apartment renters aren't in the political class so not a priority.
CaaS, Collusion as a Service?

This certainly seems like one of those cases worth watching.

I think you mean Crime as a Service. Uber, Google, Amazon, eBay, PayPal, Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Telegram, Reddit, etc all profit from crime. Companies facilitating collusion with a wink and a nod are the next logical progression of legitimizing white collar criminals. Police and prosecutors have spent ages chasing their tails with a self reinforcing drug war while mr burns types have been building infrastructure to brazenly fleece the public in broad daylight for decades. It’s time for major investment in dismantling white collar crimes outfits, like apartment price fixing, realtor corruption, wage fixing, wage theft, and the obscene culture of flouting workplace safety standards in virtually every industry.
