美国联邦监管机构周一表示，Redfin和Zillow必须修改这两家房地产公司去年达成的一项商业协议，因为该协议削弱了房屋租赁市场的竞争并损害了消费者利益。
美国联邦贸易委员会（FTC）周一宣布了这一和解方案，解决了该机构去年提起的一项反托拉斯诉讼。FTC指控Zillow向Redfin支付1亿美元，要求其停止多户型住宅的房源挂牌服务，并仅转发Zillow提供的公寓房源信息。
根据起诉书，作为协议的一部分，Redfin还同意终止与广告客户的合同，并将客户转移给Zillow。
FTC周一表示，将要求这两家房地产平台从其商业协议中移除反竞争条款。Redfin必须重新进入市场，提供更多房源，以确保租房者有更广泛的选择。
该机构在一份声明中表示，恢复竞争将降低价格，使租房者和物业管理公司双双受益。FTC在弗吉尼亚州地区法院原定开庭审理此案的当天上午，与Zillow达成了和解协议。
“与庭审胜诉后可能取得的结果相比，本次和解能为租房者和物业管理公司带来更好、更快、更确定的成果，包括Redfin作出的重新开展租赁广告业务的坚定且可执行的承诺，”美国联邦贸易委员会竞争局局长丹尼尔·瓜尔纳拉在一份声明中说道。
Redfin的一位发言人表示，该协议允许公司继续与Zillow开展租赁合作“至少至2030年”，同时公司将着手打造并投资自身独立的租赁业务。
Zillow的一位发言人对和解方案表示欢迎，在一封电子邮件中称其“总体上对租房者、住房供应商和租赁市场都是好消息”。

Redfin and Zillow must amend a commercial agreement the real estate firms struck last year because it weakened competition in the home rental market and harmed consumers, federal regulators said on Monday.
The settlement, announced Monday by the Federal Trade Commission, resolves an antitrust lawsuit the agency filed last year. The FTC alleged that Zillow paid Redfin $100 million to shut down listing services for multifamily properties and to repost exclusively Zillow-provided apartment listings.
As part of the agreement, Redfin also agreed to end its contracts with its advertising customers and transfer them to Zillow, according to the complaint.
The FTC said Monday that it will require the real estate platforms to remove anticompetitive provisions from their commercial agreement. Redfin will be required to reenter the market with more home listings to ensure renters have a wider selection.
Restoring competition will bring down prices and benefit both renters and property management companies, the agency said in a statement. The FTC reached a deal with Zillow the morning the case was scheduled to go to trial at a district court in Virginia.
“This settlement delivers better, quicker, more certain results for both renters and property management companies than we would have been able to achieve after prevailing at trial, including firm and enforceable commitments by Redfin to relaunch its rentals advertising business,” Daniel Guarnera, director of the FTC’s Bureau of Competition, said in a statement.
A Redfin spokesperson said the agreement allows the company to continue its rental partnership with Zillow “through at least 2030 while building and investing in a standalone rentals business of our own.”
A Zillow spokesperson applauded the settlement, describing it in an email as “great news for renters, housing providers and the rental market broadly.”
