纽约两名租户Peter Castaneda和Haley Gelfand对房产经纪公司Compass提起集体诉讼，指控该公司通过从Zillow等免费数字平台撤下大量房源来制造虚假供应短缺，进而人为推高曼哈顿房租 1。诉讼声称，Compass通过十多年来的一系列并购已控制曼哈顿超过80%的租赁房源，掌握了垄断定价的能力 1。
诉讼指控Compass试图通过限制房源在免费平台上的可见性来操纵其他平台的价格 1。
Two New York tenants have filed a class-action lawsuit against real estate brokerage Compass, accusing the company of artificially inflating Manhattan rents by removing listings from free platforms like Zillow to create a false housing shortage 1. The plaintiffs, Peter Castaneda and Haley Gelfand, allege that Compass has leveraged over a decade of acquisitions to control more than 80 percent of rental properties in Manhattan, granting it monopolistic pricing power 1.
According to the lawsuit, Compass deliberately delisted properties from digital platforms accessible to the general public while maintaining control over pricing to manipulate the rental market 1. The company's dominant market position, built through years of mergers and acquisitions, enabled it to suppress supply visibility and artificially drive up rents across the borough 1.
