Zillow Is Being Sued for Banning Listings — and I’ve Been Locked Out for Over a Month

[Pedro Andrade]

If you rely on Zillow to list your rentals, this lawsuit should get your attention.

My Zillow Rental Manager account has been blocked for over a month—no warning, no explanation, and no way to speak to a human. I’ve emailed them over 10 times with zero response. Since there’s no phone number, I’ve been left completely in the dark, at the mercy of the Zillow gods.

And I know I’m not the only one.

Now, Zillow is being sued for allegedly banning certain listings and limiting access to its platform in ways that may violate antitrust laws. As a landlord or investor, this isn’t just a headline—it’s a direct threat to your ability to get your properties seen, fill vacancies, and protect your bottom line.

Has anyone else experienced issues with Zillow blocking listings or freezing your account? Do you think these platforms are becoming too powerful—and what are you doing to protect your leasing funnel if they shut the door on you?
