North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson reached a $7 million settlement on June 24, 2026, with landlord company LivCor regarding the use of rent-setting algorithms. The agreement prohibits LivCor from utilizing third-party software for algorithmic pricing and restricts the sharing of sensitive data with competing landlords. LivCor, which manages 3,500 apartment units in North Carolina, must also cease participation in meetings hosted by RealPage, a software provider currently facing a broader lawsuit from the state.

As part of the settlement terms, LivCor is required to report compliance updates to the attorney general’s office and permit inspections of its practices. While the company agreed to these terms, it did not admit to any liability or wrongdoing. The broader legal action brought by Jackson alleges that RealPage’s software utilized confidential data to artificially inflate rental prices in violation of antitrust laws.

This case involves seven major landlords who oversee more than 70,000 rental units statewide. Previously, the attorney general secured settlements with Greystar and Cortland. Litigation against RealPage and the remaining three landlords in the case remains active as the state continues its efforts to prevent systems that allegedly rig rent prices. The attorney general's office has not clarified whether this settlement will yield evidence for ongoing litigation or if individual renters will receive financial compensation.
