Council says it passed ordinance banning algorithmic rental price fixing
Council member Paul Dillon (District 2) said the council passed an ordinance that bans the use of algorithmic rental price fixing, telling viewers the measure is intended to help address rent increases and housing affordability.

Dillon said the city "is now the thirteenth city in the country to pass such an ordinance" and thanked Council member Zappone and stakeholders for their work and feedback leading up to the vote. The recap did not include the ordinance number, the exact prohibitions or enforcement mechanisms, penalties, or how the city will detect or prove algorithmic price-fixing in practice.

The council’s announcement in the recap recorded the policy outcome but omitted vote tallies and implementation details. The ordinance was described as a formal adoption during the session; additional documents or minutes would be needed for legal text, enforcement provisions, and effective dates.
