They absolutely won't stop. They will continue to do this manually - they already do / did. This software just saved them legwork.

And now they are using AI tools to handle the emails related to renting including price negotiation.

There is a non-trivial amount of data science work put into these tools with the explicit goal of keeping rents high and using all available data (ex. your credit score, history at other buildings they own, your payment history, local pricing landscape and tons more) to extract the maximum you're willing to pay.

Virtually all large landlords use them on just about every channel - email, website chat, SMS and even phone now.

This is why we created https://fless.io to level the playing field and bring some of the same tactics to the renter side in addition to saving the emailing / scheduling hassle.
