Summary

The law makes it illegal for residential landlords, their agents, or any software service that shares non‑public rent data to coordinate pricing or lease terms with other landlords. It targets the use of property‑management algorithms that can fix rents, applying existing New Jersey antitrust penalties. State agencies must educate the public and adopt rules to enforce the ban.
