I wonder if they could get around the non-public part if they themselves made the data freely available. If for example, they collected the data from the apartments they manage but the data was available on their site. I don't see anything here (but I only skimmed quickly) that specifically states the source of the data.

So basically realizing that it is better that they exist and have this data than to try to spite their competitors. Since I imagine without this data their value goes down.

So while they may be helping their competitors get data, their competitors are also helping them and then each company survive on their algorithm and contracts.

Sure, I think that would be great for everyone. As a renter I would love to have access to more public data to help me negotiate against my landlord's greed.
