The external stimulus you’re looking for there is the cost of gas to the gas station actually rises. There is no extra cost to landlords. Raising prices in concert with your competition with no reason is the definition of collusion.

with no reason

… If only there was a reason like everyone getting an extra 1000 dollars a month… Oh wait.

  That’s not a reason. There’s not a carve out in collusion for, “median pay increased”. Reasons are cost push. Which is why corporations spent so much time trying to blame inflation on the pandemic and supply shortages long after those matters were cleared up.
