Reply to comment by suz_gee in Rent too damn high? Landlords have formed an illegal cartel according to several reports by cogitator_tertius

There are rules in place: https://www.ftc.gov/advice-guidance/competition-guidance/guide-antitrust-laws/dealings-competitors/price-fixing

I think this is a hard one to prove. Plus, our country hasn't brought an anti-trust suit in decades that I am aware of because the teeth of corruption are sunk in deep.

What we need is for corrupt white collar folks to start getting that 1990s style crime bill treatment. Will it make a difference? I don't know, but I'll enjoy it.
