The alleged collusion violates the District of Columbia's Antitrust Act, the office said. Washington, D.C., Attorney General Brian Schwalb's office said Tuesday that it's suing RealPage, a property management software company, and 14 of the district's largest landlords for allegedly colluding to raise rents. In a statement to CNBC, a company spokesperson for William C. Smith & Co. said the company does not comment on pending litigation. The software uses proprietary, nonpublic data and statistical models to estimate supply and demand and generate a price to maximize the landlord's revenue. RealPage has previously been sued by renters in the Southern District of California and Tennessee over the past year.

With the market on edge ahead of the Federal Reserve's decision on interest rates, here's a way to play it safe. In anticipation of the Fed's decision, stocks are losing their momentum this week while oil prices surge and consumer sentiment sours. These stocks have a dividend yield of greater than 3% and are still in the green this year, making them a strong hedge against potential near-term volatility. Oil and natural gas producer Coterra Energy has the highest dividend yield of the list and has popped 12% so far this year. The company also offers a dividend yield of 3.83%.
