FTC sends checks to eligible people who paid for housing
The FTC is sending 444,131 checks totaling more than $47.2 million to eligible people who paid Invitation Homes for undisclosed fees or deceptive and unfair charges between January 2021 and September 2024.
According to the FTC, Invitation Homes advertised one lease price but then charged renters undisclosed fees for things like smart home technology and utility management. Deceptive and unfair charges at move-out included charges for normal wear-and-tear, damages that existed before renters moved in, and even renovations. Landlords must truthfully advertise the prices and services they’re offering.
People who already got a credit or refund from Invitation Homes are not eligible for a payment from this settlement.
If you got a check, please cash it within 90 days.
