The District of Columbia will get another chance to tweak its claims against landlord AvalonBay Communities and see if the changes are enough to prop up allegations that it has been using the property management platform RealPage to fix the price of rentals.

AvalonBay was let out of the litigation in May, but Superior Court Judge Todd E. Edelman handed down an order before the holidays that switched the dismissal from one with prejudice to one without so that D.C. could amend its claims.

. . .

D.C. is represented by Adam Gitlin and Amanda Hamilton of the Office of the Attorney General for the District of Columbia’s Public Advocacy Division and Emmy L. Levens, Robert A. Braun and Aaron J. Marks of Cohen Milstein Sellers & Toll PLLC.
