Compass hides Zillow listings, driving up NYC rents
In New York City, two renters filed a class action lawsuit against Compass, alleging the brokerage hid rental listings from Zillow, leading to a 40% drop in available units and increased rents. The lawsuit claims Compass controls over 80% of Manhattan's listings, allowing it to dictate prices. Local and federal authorities are investigating Compass's practices, which are said to worsen the housing crisis for renters.
