Landlords are using automated services to monitor tenant promotions

In every other case, in every other industry, we call people who buy a limited resource, transform it in no way, and sell it at a profit a "scalper".

For a long time I thought, "maybe landlords are offering some service and not just squeezing people...." But over the past decade it's become clearer and clearer how predatory and parasitic the industry is. Things like this. Things like landlords all using the same pricing algorithms so they can raise rents in unison.

The name of the company that provides this service needs to be provided, would be interesting.

sounds like a privacy/GDPR issue to me. In EU, you would be able to extract apartment's buying cost just because they overstepped privacy laws...

nevertheless, housing (especially rental) is not cheap in EU. Mostly because there is limited supply.

What is the service name providing this spying for landlords?

I really hate working in software sometimes. The evil that computing is enabling now is getting harder and harder to ignore and I just feel ashamed sometimes to be in the field.

That’s nothing. You should see the desperation scores that L4 engineers and above only can see. To say nothing of the fact that Apple AI will replace your face with a leaf.

Someday ordinary Americans may want to consider getting something similar to GDPR in place? Companies in the US are abusing the public's data and privacy in so many ways.

These things always result in victim blaming "you shouldn't post your data", but even if you don't it's legal for anyone to collect and sell your data. You can't protect yourself without better consumer protection laws.
