ZRS Management lawsuits currently span three main fronts: a federal antitrust class action over algorithmic rent pricing, a negligent security case in Tampa tied to a 2025 shooting, and an older Florida mold injury case the Orlando-based apartment manager settled before a jury awarded $48 million against a remaining defendant. A few smaller cases round out the docket.
The RealPage Rent-Fixing Class Action
The biggest case against ZRS is the federal multidistrict litigation In re RealPage Inc. Rental Software Antitrust Litigation (No. II), Case No. 3:23-md-03071, before Judge Waverly D. Crenshaw Jr. in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee.1Hausfeld LLP. RealPage Federal Antitrust Class Action ZRS is one of roughly 50 property management companies named alongside RealPage, the software maker at the center of the case.
Plaintiffs allege that RealPage and its property-management clients used AI-driven “revenue management” software to coordinate rental prices across competing apartment complexes. The complaint says the software ingested nonpublic, competitively sensitive data from participating landlords and then recommended prices designed to push rents above what a competitive market would produce.2Robins Kaplan LLP. RealPage Federal Antitrust Class Action The claims rest on Section 1 of the Sherman Act, which prohibits agreements that restrain competition.
ZRS was also named directly in an earlier complaint in the Southern District of Florida (Case No. 1:23-cv-20165). Plaintiffs Zachary Miller Corradino and Samantha Taylor Reyes alleged they paid inflated rent at The Residences at the Village of Merrick Park in Coral Gables, a property managed by ZRS using RealPage’s pricing tool. The complaint sought treble damages and injunctive relief under the Clayton Act for the Miami, Orlando, Jacksonville, and Tampa rental markets.3Inman. RealPage Florida Lawsuit Complaint That action was folded into the Tennessee MDL.
Settlement Status and When Renters Can File Claims
On November 21, 2025, Judge Crenshaw granted preliminary approval of 26 settlements covering 27 defendants, totaling $141.8 million.1Hausfeld LLP. RealPage Federal Antitrust Class Action The class covers people who paid rent at apartments owned or managed by settling companies between October 18, 2018, and November 21, 2025. The claims process has not yet opened, and the official settlement website lists important dates as “TBD.”4RealPage Rental Settlement. RealPage Rental Settlement Angeion Group LLC will administer claims once the process begins.
More deals have followed. In January 2026, Mid-America Apartment Communities disclosed a $53 million settlement. In April 2026, a Texas-based REIT disclosed a separate $53 million settlement, and Equity Residential reached a $56 million agreement. By May 2026, plaintiffs petitioned the court for preliminary approval of additional settlements exceeding $218 million.5Law360. In Re RealPage Inc Rental Software Antitrust Litigation For non-settling defendants, the case remains in discovery after plaintiffs defeated a motion to dismiss in December 2023.1Hausfeld LLP. RealPage Federal Antitrust Class Action The public filings in the file do not identify whether ZRS is among the settling defendants or still litigating.
Tampa Negligent Security Lawsuit
In December 2025, the family of Erinique Moore, a 26-year-old Tampa woman, sued Rivertree Landing Apartment Homes and ZRS Management, alleging that negligent security at the complex led to Moore being shot in the head during a birthday party on September 19, 2025.6Fox 13 News Tampa Bay. Family Sues Hillsborough Co. Apartment Complex After Woman Is Injured in Shooting Moore spent 42 days in the hospital, has a bullet still lodged in her head, and requires around-the-clock care.
According to the complaint, three people were initially removed from the property by police after banging on an apartment door. One of them, Lamonte Scott, later returned, retrieved a firearm from his car in the complex parking lot, and fired through a unit window.7WFLA.

The lawsuit alleges the complex lacked gates, surveillance cameras, and security guards, and that “numerous violent criminal acts including shootings, aggravated assaults, batteries, drug sales, and robberies” had occurred at or near the property before the incident.6Fox 13 News Tampa Bay.

The Florida Mold Case and $48 Million Verdict
ZRS was originally a defendant in a personal injury case arising from mold exposure at the Mar Lago Village condominium in Plantation, Florida. Lynette Jividen, 56, moved into the complex in early 2016 and alleged she developed chronic inflammatory response syndrome, a permanent condition affecting her nervous system, digestive system, muscles, joints, and immune system, after prolonged mold exposure in her unit.10Fox 13 Memphis.

Jividen sued the building owner, ML Casa V LP, and ZRS Management in May 2018. Both settled with Jividen for an undisclosed amount and were dismissed from the case with prejudice in June 2020.11Trellis Law. Lynette R. Jividen v. Eds Advisors Inc The remaining portion of the case, a default judgment against Florida Contractors Inc. over failed roof repairs, went to a virtual jury trial in Broward County. In April 2021, the jury awarded Jividen $48 million, including $35 million for loss of capacity to enjoy life and $10 million for future medical costs.10Fox 13 Memphis.

The headline verdict was not entered against ZRS, which had already exited the case.
Other Cases
Three smaller matters have surfaced in court records:
- Abram v. ZRS Management (S.D. Tex., Case No. 4:25-cv-02234): filed May 16, 2025, this case alleges Fair Housing Act violations. Plaintiff Latrese Abram sued ZRS Management, Trammell Crow Residential, and CH-AFH I Houston Cypress LP. It is pending before Judge Alfred H. Bennett.12PACER Monitor. Abram v. ZRS Management, LLC et al
- Tatum v. ZRS Management (Dallas County): filed October 2020 under a general “Other” category with no publicly available details, and voluntarily dismissed by the plaintiff in April 2021 under an agreed order, with no monetary judgment recorded.13UniCourt. Lloyd Tatum vs ZRS Management, LLC et al
- Shean v. ZRS Management (Fla. Supreme Court, Case No. SC2022-1604): petitioners sought review based on a claimed conflict between lower court decisions. The court dismissed the petition on January 8, 2024, finding it lacked jurisdiction because the district court of appeal had issued its decision without a written opinion.14Florida Courts ACIS Portal. Shean v. ZRS Management, LLC – SC2022-1604
One boundary worth noting: the Department of Justice’s separate antitrust case against RealPage, filed in August 2024 in the Middle District of North Carolina, names RealPage and seven large landlord companies but does not name ZRS as a defendant.15U.S. Department of Justice.
