"encompassing 70% of multi-family apartment buildings"
The hair splitting meme around "monopoly" and effective monopoly power (and the common meaning of these terms) is just ugly.

You conveniently left out the part before: "at least 21 large landlords and institutional investors [...]". Wikipedia says the definition of oligopoly is:
"An oligopoly (from Ancient Greek ὀλίγος (olígos) 'few', and πωλέω (pōléō) 'to sell') is a market in which control over an industry lies in the hands of a few large sellers who own a dominant share of the market."
"at least 21" is not "a few" by any stretch of the imagination.
