There's two major companies in the area that rent out apartments.
I rented from one a few years back. In my unit, there were 12 apartments (I think). IIRC, four per floor, with three floors. I believe there were 8 to 12 units surrounding a common area in our "block". Then this "block" was a part of a larger group of complexes and in the area, they had five or six of these groups.
That's around 50 - 100 units.
They also had other locations. They probably manage at least 1000 units.
The other company manages fewer, but not by much.
If RealPage gets both of them, they've effectively set the prices for all apartments in the area.
