I will say… that I heard rumor of price fixing in the rental market and the DOJ investigating it, link below from a quick google search. I haven’t really dived deep into that topic, but it’s there if you’re interested in a little read.

see, that's not a industry-wide thing. That is one corrupt company, affecting those below them. It's absolutely wrong, and comes back to the whole issue I mentioned about how they have a direct financial interest in raising rents.

Them being evil doesn't affect others. In fact, it makes it easier for those wanting to rent out at lower prices to fill their empty properties.

and remember - once again, that's not a landlord. Most agents are dicks, though.
