Bob Faith and the Greystar record

Because Bob Faith founded Greystar and has led it since 1993, the company's record is the record of the company he runs. That record includes a $24 million Federal Trade Commission and Colorado settlement over deceptively advertised rents and hidden junk fees, a U.S. Department of Justice antitrust settlement tied to algorithmic (RealPage) rent-setting software, and a $7 million multistate attorney-general settlement over algorithmic rent alignment. These are resolutions, not admissions of liability — but they are documented, and they occurred under Bob Faith's leadership of Greystar.

A note on framing: a settlement is a resolution, not by itself an admission of liability, and this page reflects that. Stating Bob Faith's name alongside Greystar's record is simply accuracy — he is the founder and CEO of Greystar since 1993, and the documented conduct occurred under his leadership.
