In one paragraph

New Jersey's A3326 would make it unlawful, and a violation of the New Jersey Antitrust Act, for a rental property owner to subscribe to or pay a 'coordinator' that collects pricing, supply or lease-date data from two or more owners and recommends rents, renewal terms or occupancy levels. It would also bar coordinators from facilitating agreements that restrict competition for residential units.

What it means for business

Landlords would be barred from using rent-recommendation services that pool data from multiple owners, and such software providers could not facilitate anticompetitive agreements; violations fall under the Antitrust Act.

Key provisions

  1. Section 2: 'coordinating function' means collecting pricing, supply or lease-date data from two or more rental owners, analyzing it with computational systems, and recommending rents, renewal terms or occupancy levels; a 'coordinator' operates a service doing so, including an owner for its own benefit.
  2. Section 3(a): unlawful for a rental property owner, or its agent, representative or subcontractor, to subscribe to or contract with a coordinator, or otherwise provide consideration for its services.
  3. Section 3(b): unlawful for a coordinator to facilitate an agreement among rental owners that restricts competition for residential dwelling units, including by performing a coordinating function.
  4. Section 3: violations are violations of the New Jersey Antitrust Act. Section 4: takes effect on the first day of the fourth month after enactment.
