US EditionFTC to Refund More than $47 Million to Consumers Allegedly Deceived by Invitation Homes
The Federal Trade Commission will send $47.2 million to 444,131 renters after alleging Invitation Homes charged undisclosed fees and withheld security deposits.
- The FTC said Wednesday it will send $47.2 million in refunds to renters nationwide as part of a settlement with Invitation Homes, resolving allegations of deceptive leasing costs.
- The FTC's complaint says Invitation Homes hid mandatory "junk" fees totaling about $1,700 annually, charged undisclosed application and reservation fees, failed home inspections, and withheld security deposits.
- The FTC said it will mail checks to 444,131 affected consumers who paid Invitation Homes $45 or more between January 2021 and September 2024, with an average payment of $106 and recipients urged to cash checks within 90 days.
- As part of the settlement, Invitation Homes will disclose leasing prices, establish fair security deposit procedures, and agreed to the deal without admitting wrongdoing; consumers with prior credits are ineligible for FTC payments.
- Given its scale, the settlement affects Invitation Homes' nationwide footprint of more than 109,000 homes as of June 30, 2024, and includes an FTC order requiring about $48 million turnover and behavioral changes.
