"Can you decribe what secret info is being shared in those cases? Is it just the rents people are paying?"

According to the complaints, it is more than only the rents paid.

Note that "secret" is not the adjective used to describe the data/info being exchanged bwteeen the defendants. The term used is "non-public".

To bring suit against RealPage, precise descriptions of the non-public data/info are not necessary. Examples of this data/info may be found later, during discovery. As such, the initial complaints do not contain specific examples of data/info, only general desciptions. Below are some excerpts showing how the data/info is described generally.
