Camden Property Trust Issues Response to Department of Justice Lawsuit

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Camden Property Trust (NYSE:CPT) disagrees with the allegations made in the amended complaint against RealPage, which added Camden and others as defendants. Camden will vigorously defend itself against these claims and intends to move for dismissal.

Camden exists to improve the lives of our employees, residents, and shareholders one experience at a time. Since its founding, Camden has been dedicated to providing Living Excellence to our residents. Much of the Department of Justice claims arise around actions that were taken during the COVID-19 pandemic. This was a time when Camden made the decision not to increase renewal rates, to waive late fees, to freeze evictions, and to take the unprecedented step of providing over $10 million in cash directly to our residents to assist them during that uncertain period, no strings attached. In fact, this support came before federal, state, or local governments had provided any form of financial assistance due to the pandemic. As the name of our philanthropic philosophy indicates, Camden Cares.

Rental rates are a result of many factors, most importantly government regulations limiting housing supply. When supply is limited by government regulations, rents go up. Camden is committed to doing its part in expanding the nation’s housing supply.
