Eh, I'm really not convinced they'd be effective. If they're trying, then sure whack them with price fixing charges.
I'm just not aware of any markets where these guys are dominant. You STILL have the prisoners dilemma issue, as there are tons of smaller landlords out there that definitely aren't playing in this game no matter what you're doing.
And I don't see how this is THAT much different from just doing a search for rental properties in your area on zillow and setting your rent prices accordingly. If THAT is price fixing, then how does anyone expect a market to work at all?
