Very strongly agree

Yes, this software creates a digital cartel that illegally fixes prices.

Democrats have framed algorithmic rent coordination as potential collusion/price-fixing, echoing antitrust arguments seen in Democratic AG lawsuits and federal scrutiny of RealPage and similar systems; the “digital cartel” framing matches that rhetoric.

Strongly agree

Yes

National Democrats have increasingly backed aggressive tenant protections and antitrust scrutiny of rent-setting algorithms (e.g., DOJ/FTC attention to RealPage-style pricing tools; multiple Democratic state AG actions), so a broad ban aligns with the party’s current direction, though not universally embraced by all moderates.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only for large corporate landlords, not small independent owners.

Targeting large corporate landlords fits mainstream Democratic messaging—cracking down on institutional/Wall Street landlords while avoiding burdens on small owners; many Democratic proposals focus on corporate practices and market power rather than mom-and-pop landlords.

Disagree

No, the government causes high rents by restricting housing supply, not software.

Democrats do acknowledge supply constraints and support building more housing, but this answer shifts blame primarily to government regulation and dismisses software’s role—closer to deregulatory/market-first arguments more associated with Republicans than the Democratic coalition.

Disagree

No, property owners have a right to use data to determine market value.

While some Democrats accept market data use, the party’s current posture is skeptical of algorithmic coordination that can facilitate collusion; emphasizing an unfettered ‘right’ to use such tools runs against the party’s antitrust and tenant-protection thrust.

Strongly disagree

No

A flat “No” conflicts with the party’s recent emphasis on curbing corporate price-setting and using antitrust/consumer-protection tools in housing markets; many prominent Democrats have supported investigations and restrictions on algorithmic rent coordination.
