This feels so wrong but at the same time so long as landlords maintain control and are making the decisions at the end of the day, just giving advice (however manipulative) can't be illegal, can it?

Whether or not it's illegal is not the same question as whether or not it's horrific and immoral.

This is absolutely true.

What's wrong? Your local grocery store also uses software to determine prices.

What's wrong? 50 years of broad failure to do the sort of anti-trust work that's required for markets to be healthy and not trend toward oligopoly and the market manipulation and rent-seeking that come with it.
