An announcement from Mid-America Apartment ( (MAA) ) is now available.
On January 26, 2026, Mid-America Apartment Communities, Inc. and its subsidiary agreed to settle their involvement in a consolidated class action antitrust lawsuit alleging that RealPage and roughly 50 major multifamily landlords conspired to inflate apartment rents through revenue management software. The company will contribute $53 million to a settlement fund, payable in two installments beginning no earlier than March 2, 2026, to resolve all related claims, subject to court approval, and has also agreed to certain prospective commitments around use and disclosure of nonpublic data and revenue management tools that it says align with its current practices and should not materially alter operations. Mid-America will increase its loss contingency reserve to $62.5 million in its 2025 year-end financials to cover the settlement and related legal costs, but says the charge will not affect 2025 Core Funds from Operations or Funds Available for Distribution, does not expect any material impact on liquidity, leverage, credit rating, dividend policy or capital allocation plans, and believes the settlement reduces significant legal uncertainty and risk associated with complex antitrust litigation while allowing management to remain focused on its core apartment business.
