  We moved into our home 7/15/2022. There have been multiple maintenance issues, electrical issues and a gas leak. None of which have been addressed by invitation homes in a timely manner. I have sent multiple emails- with no proper response from the office. We had to hire an electrician due to the improper wiring of this home. I request to be refunded. My email sent is as follows- On 7/15 me and my family moved into the above property. And things have been nothing but stressful. I've multiple maintenance request, to electrical issues. I've had standing water in the non working dishwasher for 30+days. I've had to take off work so I can go to the laundromat to wash my clothes due to the electrical issues.
  
  I expect a phone call back (XXX-XXX-XXXX)
  
  I still have standing water and I still have maintenance issues that are unresolved.

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed ******* *****'s complaint to the Better Business Bureau. We value our customers, and as such, made it a priority to work directly with our residents to resolve the matter. Invitation Homes responds here to the Better Business Bureau's request for information as a courtesy.
  
  The local management team connected with ******* on September 9th to discuss the maintenance issues in their home. ******* expressed concerns with their dryer outlet, smoke detectors, dishwasher, water heater, garbage disposal, and the knobs for their stove. On September 14th, the dryer outlet, smoke detectors, water heater, and garbage disposal concerns were resolved. A Maintenance Technician also contacted ******* to schedule the installation of the dishwasher, but ******* said they stated they preferred to schedule that through the local office. We are currently working with ******* to determine a date that they are available for this installation. Additionally, ******* shared that they hired a vendor on their own to address the electrical concerns and we shared our policy on doing so, which is that we do not reimburse, however, in this case we provided a refund that both parties agreed to.
  
  Invitation Homes prides itself on good customer service and legal and ethical compliance. As always, it is our hope to quickly reach a successful resolution of the complaint directly with the claimant and that this response shall close the matter with the Better Business Bureau.
  
  
  Consumer Response /* (3000, 7, 2022/09/21) */
  (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
  Today is 9/21/22. Today my house failed inspection again by the city of duncanville because there are electrical issues that haven't been resolved however invitation homes has been out to my house on multiple occasions to supposedly correct the issue. The stove top nobs that were supposed to have been ordered in August- weren't. They were ordered by the 3rd maintenance man to come out to house. Today the 4th maintenance man came to my house to install them- and there the incorrect nobs so now I'm waiting on a 5th person to come to my home in which I will have to take off of work for. The new dishwasher was finally installed today after 2 months of communicating it didn't work and left in front of my home on the sidewalk. Every time someone comes out a new problem is created causing more and more people to
  Come to my home. An official apology has not been given. The service has been unacceptable.

  As mentioned in our previous response, the dryer outlet, smoke detectors, water heater, and garbage disposal have been repaired, and we agreed to provide a concession for the electrician they hired. Unfortunately, the stove knobs that were ordered and installed are the wrong color. The right color has been ordered and once we have an estimated data for deliver, we will update *******. The electrical repairs were completed on September 26th, and we are currently pending the sink repair which is scheduled for September 28th. We apologized for the poor experience and provided ******* with the Director of Operations' contact information should there be any additional issues.

  I moved out 3 years ago because they tried to charge me over a ***** dollar water bill I called ***************** they said there was no way I called the third party they said thats not the water reading they have and to call invitation homes so I did. They had a plumber come out there was no leaks mind you had to call of work for that we stood above the water meter to watch it for a good half an hr I called invitation homes had multiple maintenance people come out from flooding leaks clogged drains and THEIR MAINTENANCE PEOPLE ARE THE **** WHO REMOVED THE PLUG THINGS IN THE SINK, and also couldnt snake the bathtubs because it was a tub put over a tub. and they decided to charge me ***************************************************************************************************************************** the ceiling!!!!!! Now you have the ***** to put this on my credit Ive called and called and called about all the maintenance requests I put in about the sewage problems and a itemized statement nope never got one other then one that has the direct tv dish on there which was there when I moved in they also wanted to charge me to. Also charge people 90$ extra on rent for a pool guy but when the pool turns green o you try to charge the tenants oooo wait theres more what about the smart home fees I also had to pay every month even though it never works and again I callled about that multiple times but guess what nothing was done about that either. But you charge and charge for services that actually arent provided or working. I would like someone hire up to contact me ASAP.

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed *************** complaint to the Better Business Bureau. We value our customers and accordingly make it a priority to work directly with our residents to resolve these matters. Invitation Homes responds here to the Better Business Bureau's request for information as a courtesy.   
  
  ******************* was previously advised (in 2022) that the water bills and satellite dish charges were deducted from her balance due. Invitation Homes reviewed the disputed items in the rebuttal and agreed to remove the charge for ceiling fan as the resident has no control over the gears wearing out. The filter charge and the pool charge are also removed. The remaining damage charges stand for the reasons described here:  The drain stops were present at the move in and there is no indication in the work orders that two drain stops were removed by our vendors. Two towel bars in the home were damaged/broken at move out and required replacement and air filters are required to be changed by the resident upon receiving them via Invitation homes air filter service.
  
  An additional credit will be applied to the balance due for the Smart Home system as a courtesy, however after ******************* notified the local office that the Smart home system was not working on October 12, 2021, Invitation Homes attempted several times to schedule service without success.
  
  Photos to support all damage charges have been provided to ******************* via email. If any other items are being disputed, she can reach out to the Portfolio Director directly.

  The pictures should show enough , I moved in 2 1/2 years ago , I have issues with MOLD from my ac to my CHILDREN'S bathroom , you should ask Invitation Homes for every single work order from the day I moved in , the filtration system in the house had not been working and the water was nasty, cloudy , and had a smell . We couldn't even brush our teeth. Problems from contaminated water seeping through my surgery wounds causing infections, to my service dog getting sick from drinking tap water , to as of now dealing with MOLD because of a faulty toilet that has been leaking and over flowing on the floor for at least a year , Angie B****** (Portfolio Director) stated to keep putting in work orders, after I explained to her they never properly or completely fix the problem . Check this out though , I gave my 30 day notice last week and they came and changed the WHOLE toilet but not after the water seeped into my sons carpet , they have machines and a big humidifier drying out my sons carpet right now , this has destroyed personal items and health issues ! This problem also caused MOLD build up in the carpet and on the walls of my sons room , being that his room is up against the bathroom . I would love to hear the explanation, as they should have none at all and should definitely be ready to pay back every dollar I PAID them! I am actually calling the news station to get them to see this ! These pictures are over a 2 year span .

  Please explain to BBB , since we're all being truthful , how many work were established in the home for the duration of my lease , and what were the reasons behind every work order . All the same reasons faulty septic , faulty filtration system , faulty toilets , faulty AC , should I keep going ? You guys were sued two years ago for putting another family in harms way of health issues , the Director let me out of my lease early because I told them I was leaving and not putting up with this mess anymore. That molded ac wooded box has been molded for a long time as you can see.

  The local management team apologized for the maintenance issues ******** experienced in their home. ******** vacated the home on September 6, 2022, and we answered their questions regarding pro-rated rent and final utilities. As previously agreed, we are not charging a penalty to ******** for vacating the home prior to the end of the lease agreement. We reviewed the work orders submitted during ********'s time in the home and we believed they were all addressed timely and resolved. We shared that if a work order was not resolved or an issue reoccurred that Invitation Homes should be notified so we can resolve the issue promptly.

  After moving out of the house at 1806 Suzanne lane Lakeland fl XXXXX, I instead of getting my deposit back was sent a bill from this company for hundreds of dollars. I left the property in better condition than when I got it. I have move in inspection reports detailing things that were pre existing issues that they charged me for. Additionally they only credited 1050.00 towards the bill they sent me. The 1050 was my original deposit, however when I had to do the maintenance transfer in 2020 I paid an additional deposit fee to move in to the home. I also have bank records to show that amount. This company is notorious for cheating their tenants out of their deposits and rarely give any money back to their tenants. I have pictures and documentation to substantiate I do NOT owe this company a dime rather they owe me!!!

  I vacated my rental property in the end of November that was located in Litchfield AZ, on Solano. Invitation Homes did the walk-thru a month prior and was advised there would be furniture left in the home etc due to the circumstances surrounding the termination of the lease. I understood my deposit would be retained to cover any outstanding expenses such as cleaning and removal of the furniture left behind since we relocated out of state. I emailed my forwarding address to my assigned representative for any follow up correspondence. I did not hear anything else about the move and was told everything was fine. I did not get any letters, instead my credit report now shows I owe Invitation Homes $2492.00. Invitation Homes has my forwarding address and never mailed anything stating I owe them anything or giving me an opportunity to dispute or see how these charges incurred. Instead Invitation Homes sent my information directly to their collection agency resulting in my credit being negatively impacted. I am entitled to receive an itemized breakdown explaining how and why you feel I owe $2492.00. I terminated the lease under the bases of a restraining order being in place and my home was no longer safe to reside in. Invitation Homes has all of this information and I did everything I was asked to do. Not getting due process and have my credit automatically affected is not fair to me, especially when I've rented multiple homes from your company. I'm seeking some sort of resolve and this removed from my credit report. You kept my deposit, you've been made financially whole in this matter while damaging my credit score.

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed ******* *******'s complaint to the Better Business Bureau. We value our customers, and as such, made it a priority to work directly with our residents to resolve the matter. Invitation Homes responds here to the Better Business Bureau's request for information as a courtesy.
  
  ******* provided documentation sufficient to terminate their lease agreement to Invitation Homes on October 26, 2021, with a move-out date of November 30, 2021. Shortly after Invitation Homes was notified that ******* was vacating, our maintenance team scheduled and completed a pre-move-out visit with the resident present. During this time, a technician walked through the home and advised ******* on ways to maximize the security deposit refund by suggesting items that require repairs and/or replacements and provided them with a move-out checklist stating all move out-requirements.
  
  The move-out inspection was completed on November 11, 2021, and a copy of the pre-move out visit summary was provided to ******* via the email on record. This summary included reminders to ensure that all personal property, furniture, and trash is removed from the home prior to vacating. It is Invitation Homes policy that if a resident leaves any items in the home after they vacate, they are responsible for the cost of disposing of the items.
  
  A final statement of deposit accounting was mailed to ******* on December 7, 2021. This statement included a breakdown of all charges deducted from their security deposit. They were charged for damages, November rent, remaining utility balances, and any applicable taxes/fees. ******* was not charged any fees for terminating their lease early. Invitation Homes does not have any record of a forwarding address being provided; therefore, the statement was mailed to the last known address.
  
  *******'s account is currently under collections with Fair Collections and Outsourcing (FCO). Since the account is now owned by FCO, all communication regarding the account must go through the agency directly. FCO can be reached at (XXX) XXX-XXXX.

  I read your response and you stated false information. You were certainly provided with my forwarding address, and even when you chose not to mail my final correspondence to my new address, had you really mailed it to the last known address (I have a usps forwarding my mail to my address) I still would've received it regardless. It doesn't help that your company doesn't take responsibility. I was still denied fair due process because your company chose to not do things properly- which in my case is something simple, mail me the invoice and give me the opportunity to examine the charges etc. You all denied me of all of that. And you still aren't offering to mail it to me now in your response, when I've stated from the beginning I have yet to get anything from you.

  Attached is an email to whom I was corresponding with from your company, you will see that you were provided my forwarding address. And again, I had my mail forwarded with the post office as well so if you really mailed it to the last known address, which is the property address, I would have received it. There's no way around this, You Did not mail me anything ! And you're still refusing to send me a copy now, instead you are referring me to the collection agency. What is is excuse now with my email showing that I did provide you with my forward address? You can't scam people and use our money to repair these homes. I will take this to the CEO of Invitation Homes because what I'm asking is simple and it's obvious I don't owe you $2492 , you kept my deposit (which I knew) and are refusing to show me the accounting for how you arrived at this balance. Send me a copy of what you allege you sent to the last known address. I'm not going through the collection agency, as this debt is NOT valid. What I'm asking for isn't difficult for you to provide and if you can't provide it, you need to remove it from my credit or I'll take further action. Thank you

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed ******* *******'s rebuttal complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Invitation Homes responds here to the Better Business Bureau's request for information as a courtesy.
  
  Invitation Homes received and reviewed the email and verified that that ******* did in fact provide a forwarding address. It was an oversight that this did not get entered, however Invitation Homes also verified that a copy of the move-out statement was emailed to the email address on record. Proof of that communication is attached has also been provided to *******. It should be noted that the email in our system is the email provided when ******* rented the home. Had this changed, it is up to the resident to provide an updated means of communication.
  
  As a courtesy, Invitation Homes agrees to work with ******* by allowing them to review and dispute any charges that they do not agree with directly with Invitation Homes instead of the collections company. Invitation Homes will then communicate the new balance owed to the collection company.
  
  As always, it is our hope to quickly reach a successful resolution of the complaint directly with the claimant and that this response shall close the matter with the Better Business Bureau.

  In typically don't file complaints but I think this one is warranted. I have been living in this home a little over a year. I have had numerous issues with this house. The first issue has been with the garage door not working properly and two times my car was stuck in the garage because of this and the vendors couldn't come out till late the next day to resolve. So be it they resolved those issues no matter how taxing it was to wait all day and not be able to leave it was fixed. Ok the third time they came out a wheel had popped off the railing again took all day but my car wasn't stuck inside the garage so I could handle my business. Ok now here's the problem they are wanting to charge me 111 bucks for this wheel coming off the railing saying I caused it by something blocking the garage door. Not possible the garage door closed and the top right was hanging down. I don't feel that's my issue for a garage door that the maintenance guy even said needs to be replaced. Ok moving on from the garage door I have been dealing with a kitchen sink for the majority if time i been here. The first three times was because it kept leaking and finally the 4th time it got fixed. Now the entire sink has fallen down into the cabinet and the pipes are broken and more water is in buckets with gnats and bugs flying around it. Three people have come out to look at this and three people have walked out doing nothing because they can't fix. Next service date is Sept 17th supposedly. I am suppose to be awaiting a quote to be approved to be fixed. Yea ok! Shower stall in master bath is cracked did initial request in November but order was closed out as complete after I was told they would have someone else come out. Once again all come out and all leave. Now this crack is huge and water is pooling in Carpet in master bedroom because its going nowhere according to maintenance guy. Still no word on when to be fixed and yet u want u to charge me extra for garage door and this house is ****!

  (The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
  My billing still has not been adjusted for the garage door breaking. I am not paying for damages I did not cause. I have already paid for a ceiling fan that broke in my daughters room where the blade came off. Another guy came out to look at kitchen sink and sent in another quote for that. I am dealing with gnats and sitting water in the kitchen and having to clean it up since pipes are broken. Yet still paying rent in hopes all this gets resolved quickly. There's no compensation for my inconvenience. If I lived in an apartment I certainly wouldn't get charged for maintenance for shoddy work and hoping in the next coming months there won't be charges added but my doubt is that there will be. The bathroom has been fixed and it looks great but am sure I will be billed for that eventually. Houses that are old that haven't been renovated at all have issues so that's not my fault. Do good work before a renter moves in to combat renters being charged for repairs that are needed that they didn't cause. I am very frustrated honestly and unhappy! I tried to give my kids the joy of living in a house to get out of apartments as a single mother but it seems to be the biggest mistake I have made. It will be another week or so before kitchen is fixed because guy said he's going out of town all next week do another week of a semi-functional kitchen but who really cares as long as rents paid.

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed ****** ******'s rebuttal complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Invitation Homes responds here to the Better Business Bureau's request for information as a courtesy.
  
  The local management team attempted to contact ****** to share that the credit was placed on their account and to review the kitchen repairs. We also sent a follow-up email to share the details of the credit. We ask that ****** contacts their Portfolio Director, Monique, so they can discuss the maintenance needs further. Monique can be reached at *******@invitationhomes.com or (XXX) XXX-XXXX.
  
  As always, it is our hope to quickly reach a successful resolution of the complaint directly with the claimant and that this response shall close the matter with the Better Business Bureau.

  They have made the appropriate repairs to kitchen and bathroom. Just hoping I don't get charged but we will see. They also credited me for the garage door which is great because I didn't cause it.

  This company has done nothing but try to scam us. When we first moved in, we were told our pool needed to be resurfaced or it will NEVER be clean. We've caught the pool company (on camera) not even entering our pool area and still charging us. They were later fired. Then I found out they're paying our new service $20/clean and they're charging us $120/month which is $30 more than they WERE charging us in a pool that NEEDS TO BE RESURFACED.
  
  On top of that, MONTHS ago, we had someone come out to help us find out that most of our house is NOT insulated. We've been complaining about our electricity bill being $400 a month, but all IH does is ignore us and make up more lies. Now we have stripped walls and ceiling missing paint because they only halfway complete jobs and lie about completing them.
  
  A month ago, we let them know our microwave was broken. A tech came over, said we needed a new microwave, and then closed the ticket saying IH denied the request to replace our microwave.
  
  Also, when we moved in over a year ago, the cabinets were falling apart. Now, a year later, they HAVE fallen apart. Drawers fell out, cabinet falling off of the ceiling, wood is all warped, and they are taking months to come and fix it. They've sent someone out 4 times to say the same exact thing.
  
  On top of all this, they had the audacity to increase our rent. Not only is this terrible work ethics, but it's borderline criminal. I have taken notes on every single lie that IH has made, and it's all in writing .

  The local management team has been in contact with ****** and are working to resolve the repairs in their home. The cabinet project is currently being scoped and once those are repairs are complete, the microwave will be addressed. The drywall concern has been resolved and the wall mentioned in the complaint is an interior wall which does not require insulation. Additionally, the pool concerns have been determined to be a cosmetic-only issue and will remain as is. We also worked with ****** on their renewal rate and provided a reduced offer to help with the change in pricing of the pool service fee.

  April of 2022 I spoke with AP manager Vanessa regarding my account, advised I was approved for rental assistance due to critical care leave taken to assist my mother who had Covid pneumonia at which time I was advised the late fees would be waived once the payment posted. In June I received a call regarding the late fees, I advised rep of agreement made with Vanessa regarding fee waiver and requested a call back. I never received a response. I sent several emails to Vanessa requesting assistance with ledger balance due to fees still reflected in balance, portal.will not allow payment less that amount showing due, I received no response. I expressed concern about the daily late fees I was accruing as a result of her delay. I emailed account manger Schevon Stinton for assistance, he in turn emailed Vanessa (cc'd myself) requesting she follow up. It took Vanessa 3 days to respond and that was via email. Vanessa stated there was miscommunication on her part but the policies had since changed so she could not remove the fees. In previous month's late fees were waive with approved rental assistance as reflected on ledger. I was charged additional late fees as well as processing fee for the 5 day pay notice I received. Balance was $340 as result of late fees, August I made payment on 8/8 on 8/9 I received call from Mia regarding payment arrangement for late fees at which time I was advised the amount in question was $809 ( something to that effect. I questiond how balance increases she advised late fees and double billing of utilities. Mia could not answer my questions so she offered to have accounting personnel to return my call to review. On 8/11 I was advised my $2100 rent check was returned. on 8/18 I received 5 day notice. I have requested management call regarding this matter and no one has responded. Mia apologized for the inconvenience via email stating she asked that I be contacted before they returned rent but that was not done.

We value our customers, and as such, made it a priority to work directly with our residents to resolve the matter.

  The local management team spoke with ********* regarding their account and the rental assistance we received. ********* was advised that the late payments are not waived when rental assistance is received, as we include all late fees in the balance due when the landlord verification is filled out and the lease is sent to the requesting rental assistance agency. Regarding the check that was returned to *******, Invitation Homes accepted the check and late fees through the 8th were reversed along with any legal fees charged to the account. Additionally, we set up a payment plan with ********* and overall, they were pleased with the communication and ability to pay August rent.

  I have requested ledger of late fee postings. As indicated in the response, Invitation Homes included late fees on the Landlord Verification form submitted for Rental Assistance however,the late fees were forwarded to the next month's billing. My case worker will be working with me to review payments against what was applied to my ledger.

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed ********* *******'s rebuttal complaint to the Better Business Bureau. Invitation Homes responds here to the Better Business Bureau's request for information as a courtesy.
  
  ********* was provided a copy of their ledger for review. Invitation Homes charges late fees according to the lease agreement, and late fees bill daily until rent is paid or up until the 28th day of the month. Late fees are never forwarded to the next month's billing, but late fees can occur in another month if rent is late that month, too.

  I have requested a ledger for late fee postings so myself. my CAP worker and my case manager may review posted late fees included with rental assistance payments. The ledger I forwarded this morning reflects late fees being forwarded. My $895 agreement included late fees from April which is where the dispute arrived from. My case worker confirmed late fee was included with payment remitted. I would like Invitation Homes to submit late fee ledger with their response. They are stating they have provided ledger, it should not be too much to ask for them to resend for your office to review with regards to my complaint. Late fee allocation for 2021-2022. I appreciate your assistance and Invitation Homes for providing the necessary document so this matter can be resolved once and for all.

  Every 6 months they tack on renters insurance fees and "admin" fees because they say I don't have renters insurance. I've had the EXACT SAME renters insurance policy for over 2 years now that I've lived there. Anything to scam and get money out of paying tenants. I've reached out MULTIPLE times to get these fees removed, and per the usual, no one will get back to me. I shouldn't have to go through this all the time! I want the fees removed!

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed Ashley Keel's complaint to the Better Business Bureau. We value our customers, and as such, made it a priority to work directly with our residents to resolve the matter. Invitation.
  
  The local management team contacted Ashley to discuss their renter's insurance charges and explained that we received a notice of cancellation for their police and since renter's insurance is required per the lease agreement, our insurance team placed a policy on their account which resulted in the charges. Once we received proper documentation from their personal policy, we cancelled our policy and reversed the charges.

  I WILL NEVER RENT FROM THIS COMPANY AGAIN. I WILL NEVER RECOMMEND INVITATION HOMES. Almost TWENTY maintenance request in two months is ridiculous. Every request could have been avoided if the house didn't sit idle for weeks after the previous tenant moved out.
  I put in a request for my shower leaking on June 29. I happen know this shower has been an issue for the past couple tenants. Invitation homes is REFUSING to permanently fix the problem. Only telling me I don't own the home and I can move if I want. Again dismissing valid concerns. I was off work all summer and had ample time to be home for contractors to fix the issue, but invitation homes is REFUSING to permanently fix the issue, only regrouting to stop a leak. Regrouting WILL NOT PERMANENTLY STOP THE LEAK. The wood underneath the shower has been deteriorating for the last FIVE years, because this is the approach invitation homes has taken. Brand new ceiling tiles in the basement are already water damaged and they've only been there a couple weeks, (they were FILTHY when we moved in) I can't see how IH is saving money by sending vendors out here periodically over five years to fix a problem that could have been fix in a couple visits. HOW IS WASTING MONEY A GOOD BUSINESS MODEL? Who wasn't taught to fix a problem for good the first time so you don't spend more money over time???
  Add to that now that school is back in, no one is at my home before 5pm, and the local office again is REFUSING me reasonable accommodation that I know for a FACT has been done for other tenants, having the contractor come after 5, It simply cost Inviting Homes a bit more. The response I got basically said, be available or be put out. So now I have to lose money from work to sit at home for something that could have been fixed A MONTH AGO. But IH will expect full rent when it's due.
  IT IS A VIOLATION OF THE FAIR HOUSING ACT TO GRANT A REASONABLE ACCOMMODATION TO ONE TENANT AND REFUSE IT TO ANOTHER.
