( September 29, 2026, 21:25 GMT | Official Statement) -- MLex Summary: RealPage's motion for a preliminary injunction against New York's ban on algorithmic rent-setting tools has been granted by a New York federal judge, who also denied New York Attorney General Letitia James' motion to dismiss RealPage's lawsuit. "Although it is a close call, the Court determines that, at this stage, RealPage is, marginally, likely to succeed on the merits," US District Judge Valerie Caproni said. Section 3 of the challenged statute prohibits residential rental property owners from setting rental terms based on the recommendations of software that performs a coordinating function, but Section 3 is undiscerning in targeting software without regard to its use of public versus non-public data, so RealPage is likely to succeed on its claim that Section 3 is facially invalid, the order said.See attached document....
