Research summary (110 words)

Hoboken prohibits a residential landlord from price fixing using algorithmic pricing, defined as using software, algorithms, or data-sharing platforms to collect and analyze nonpublic competitor information from other landlords to coordinate, recommend, or implement rental prices, lease terms, or occupancy levels. The City Council adopted the ordinance unanimously on 9 July 2025 as Ord. No. B-781, and it took effect on 29 July 2025 under the Faulkner Act's twenty-day floor.

As codified, the duty runs to the landlord's own use of such pricing tools rather than to a vendor's sale or provision of the software, so this instrument is coded as a use-side capability restriction rather than a supply-side ban.
