Hughes Hubbard secured a partial victory for Bozzuto Management Company after a New Jersey federal court partially dismissed claims in an antitrust suit brought by the state attorney general concerning the use of rental pricing software.

The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey, names RealPage Inc. and several large landlords, including Bozzuto, and alleges violations of state and federal antitrust and consumer protection laws. The state claims the defendants unlawfully coordinated rental pricing practices through the use of algorithmic software.

U.S. District Judge Madeline Cox Arleo partially granted motions to dismiss, narrowing the scope of the state attorney general’s claims. The ruling remains under seal pending proposed redactions.
