  We were moving from ********** to ******* so I originally signed a lease for a home I liked for my family after I saw pictures of the property & later was told it was not available any longer. I was told there was one home available and if I didn't take it I would possibly not be able to find another home in time for my move in date and forfeit my deposit I sent over. I signed the lease and we moved in. There were many things wrong with the home on the day we moved in. There was two toilets that would run water continuously & would flood every time we flushed water and that caused our bill to rise. After 6 weeks someone finally came out & fixed the running water but the toilets would still flood every time. I then began to notice a foul pungent smell coming from the sink in the kitchen, washing machine and l upstairs master bathroom. It smelled like sewage and rotten ******** also noticed a smell of mold in our living room area. The borders of the floor panels would bubble up as if there was a leak and I didn't understand why because we hadn't had a leak or flood. I called to complain in March 2022 because the smell was very strong & I had a concern for my children using the water to brush their teeth and bath in it. After calling 3 times someone came out & sprayed a chemical on the walls to dry the wall out but never addressing what the cause of the mold or dirty smelling water was. My daughter began having constant nose bleeds, skin rashes & breathing issues & I called again in April requesting someone else be sent out because of the strong smell and potential mold. I then began noticing the same smell was coming from our backyard area & as I looked around I noticed the foundation of the home was sitting on concrete that was broken up and had cracks and holes along the sides of the house. A plumber came out & told me there was a leak under the home which was causing the smell in the pipes and backyard. It has been 7 ************* still have not fixed the issue.

  I am rejecting this response because:   Id like it to be noted that the judge dismissed their case and found that I owed Invitation homes nothing. Meaning the fees and rent they alleged I owed was not true. There still needs to be accountability regarding the fact that they allowed my children and I to reside in a home for nearly 2 years without fixing the issue. Rather they continued to file wrongful eviction as retaliation.

  I moved into this rental property in June 6th. Upon move in there was a cracked toilet and hole under the back door where I could clearly see outside. It has taken them over 1.5 months to repair those issues. I have leaking sinks and never received a mailbox key. I've tried to communicate these issues with the company and they will not respond. When I went to have the mailbox lock changed so I can receive mail I was told it would be a $25 charge. When I called the office I was told by a staff member I would need to pay the money and ask for reimbursement. When I asked for the phone number for a supervisor I was given a disconnected number. I've had my water turned off because there was no name attached to the account but I was initially told that I didn't need to put the water in my name. When I called about this and left a message no one ever called back. I really would like to be allowed out of this lease at no charge.

  Invitation Homes has received and reviewed ****' *******' 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 contacted ****' to discuss their complaint and apologize for their experience with maintenance and their mailbox key request. On August 10th, the Director of Operations left a voicemail for ****' asking them to return her call at their earliest convenience. Another attempt was made on August 15th, and they were able to connect at that time. The Director of Operations let ****' know that they had escalated their work orders. We also provided a reimbursement to cover the cost of the mailbox key. At this time, we do not agree to provide early termination without penalty so if ****' would like to vacate the home early, they will need to follow the process and payment outlined in their lease agreement.

  My boyfriend, son and myself have been living in a rental home from Invitation Homes for 3 years. Since we have lived there we have not really need any maintenance, however, I started noticing over the 3 yrs that our air handler returns get dirty very quickly, as I have also noticed my house stays extremely dusty and dirty. Dirt ALL OVER the place. I can clean and in 10 minutes it looks like that I haven't cleaned in a month. I can look into the air handlers and see all the dirt in the vents. I called Invitation Homes to ask about putting in a work order to have the air ducts cleaned and they told me that would be my responsibility, so I asked if they could provide me with documentation that they have been cleaned but they wouldn't. The resident before lived in that house for 5 years and since we live in a small town my boyfriend knew her so he asked if they were ever cleaned while she lived there and she said no. That is 8-9 years of dirt and skin floating around the air and that we are breathing in. I decided I would have them done and found a deal for $100; the professional company came out and cleaned them, however, they found several things wrong including our A/C being lived wired instead of having a switch which they informed us wouldn't pass code. The total service ended up costing us $400. I am a current property manager and have been in property management since 2008. When residents rent from my company and they need work done, it is always the responsibility of the owner to pay for repairs. I do not feel we should be responsible for these repairs since in a total of 9 years it has never been done, I feel Invitation Homes should be responsible. My name is ****** ******, my boyfriend and his son are *** & ****** ****** we live at **** ******** Court, ******* GA XXXXX. Please reach out to me at XXX-XXX-XXXX or ********@yahoo.com
  
  Thank you,

  The local management team contacted ****** to share that we will not be reimbursing for air duct cleaning. The residents would have had to inform us upon move-in that the issue is present for us to resolve. Since they have been in the home for about three years, this is considered resident responsibility for normal upkeep of the home.

  Work order was escalated on July 31 for a fuse that kept popping and origin unknown on July 30. All switches were flipped back and all items were unplugged. Explained to Invitation Homes concern about the fire hazard for an overloaded fuse with a home built 2 years ago. Invitation Homes admitted they are aware of a potential fire hazard; however, they are unable to do anything on their end. It has now been 3 days. An electrician confirmed the circuit breaker needs to be replaced and left. Now we are being told by Invitation Homes that there is a "process" that we need to wait to be completed, in which they review the paperwork, approve the paperwork, and finally need to schedule another appointment with the technician for a part that costs approximately $70 and about 1 hour of labor. As a result, we do not have a functioning kitchen, since the circuit breaker is the one for the kitchen to include our refrigerator, stove, etc. It is acceptable for a company that we pay $2700 in rent monthly to wait 1 week to repair our kitchen. This is absolutely unacceptable especially them knowing we have a Type 1 diabetic in the household which requires their medication to be refrigerated. I have explained that because of this we have had food spoilage and need to make alternative arrangements to keep the insulin refrigerated. I have explained to them I have lost work because I must be present for a technician to arrive and as a Paramedic I work 18-24 hour shifts, every other day. My expectation is for this to be resolved and for us to be reimbursed for the loss of use for the kitchen while they did nothing to accelerate the resolution. The ticket # with Invitation Homes is BXXXXXXX

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 Director of Operations and Maintenance Supervisor worked on ***********'s concerns and escalated the work order for a timely resolution. The work order was escalated on August 3rd and completed on August 6th and electricity has been restored to the kitchen. We have addressed the delay issues with our vendor and determined that this should have been resolved on the initial visit. We apologize for any inconvenience this caused. The vendor has since been trained on how to request approval while onsite so that the resolution would not require multiple trips.

  I've told invitation homes multiple times to remove the $10 air filter charges off my bills and future bills. I told them I get my own filters and don't want theirs at all. I never signed up
  For their subscription or anything at all or agreed to it. I just spoke with the representative a month ago that said she'd remove it and for the future as well, and I got charged again. Invitation homes has been nothing short of a nightmare to deal with , it's a constant follow up

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 has attempted to reach **** several times but was not able to reach them to discuss their concerns about recent charges. Upon review of their account, we can confirm that they were charged for air filters as this is a program that is required by all residents and is outlined in the lease agreement. As a gesture of good customer service, we agreed to opt **** out of this service and reversed the charge. An email was sent to **** to share this resolution along with contact information should they like to discuss further.

  I notified Invitation Homes on 07/23/2022 that the refrigerator in our home was not cooling and all the food had spoiled. We reset the refrigerator checked the breaker, and ensured the appliance received proper power. Through the maintenance portal, a work order was submitted. The work order was assigned to an Invitation Home affiliate to contract out a service repair company. I advised Invitation Homes at that time that the refrigerator was only three weeks old as it had just been replaced. The company the work order was assigned to closed the work order without completing the job. This was not discovered until I contacted the maintenance company again on 07/24. The customer service representative stated she reopened a new work order, which was listed as an emergency. On 07/25, I called the maintenance line again and was given the name and phone number of the assigned vendor. I called the vendor, Hew's Air and Appliance Repair, and sent two text messages. The technician emailed me on 07/26 and said, "can I come now." No one was home at the time the technician sent the message. At approximately 4 pm on 07/26, I called the technician back and scheduled a time for him to come to the home on 07/27 between the hours of 0800-1000. The appointment was no-showed. At approximately 1549 on 07/27 we received a text message the technician was on his way. The tech said the refrigerator was broken and would need a $300 part. He stated he submitted the request for approval and would return in the next 24-48 hours to repair the appliance. I called the maintenance number to ensure they had approved the part and they said nothing was ever submitted. I began requesting to be transferred to a supervisor, that supervisor then transferred me to the local office. She stated they would work on it. I told Vanessa I would call her back the following day. Upon talking to them today, there is still no resolution. I have advised them they are in violation of the tenant act.

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.
  
  On May 29th, it was reported that the ice maker in the refrigerator was not working. We assigned a technician to visit the home and On June 17th, they cleaned, tested, and reinstalled all parts, but it was determined that the best course of action would be to replace the refrigerator entirely. The new appliance arrived at the home on July 2nd.
  
  On July 23rd, we were notified that the new refrigerator was not working. Due to a delay in being able to get the vendor back to the home for a recall warranty replacement, we provided a temporary refrigerator so they would not be without a working refrigerator and freezer. The return trip by our vendor is pending and we will be sure to schedule within ****'s schedule. Per Invitation Homes policy, once all service requests are closed for the issue, the account will be reviewed for concession.

  I own a home that is next door to a home that is owned by Invitation Homes. A fence was constructed that goes onto my property. They have been made aware of the situation over 6 weeks ago and continue to ignore the request to move the fence and also has ignored letters from the homeowners association to re tidy the issue.
  
  Numerous calls have been placed and messages left. 1 call was returned and the woman was so incredibly rude, arrogant and condescending. When I let her know that we are ready to cut the fence on the property line because of their lack of action, her response was "you gotta do what you gotta do."
  
  This company is so incredibly unprofessional. They violate laws, rules and regulations and do nothing to correct it. Taking my own personal time for over 6 weeks to keep after them is unacceptable.
