    NnListing showing Brick pavers not there and zero grass prior to move in

    Our experience was awful. We rented a tiny 2-bedroom/1-bath house built in the 1950s with old-style windows ftl . Even the advertised square footage did not match the property records we later found. The house did NOT match the listing photos. The pictured bricks/pavers and trash can were gone, screens were broken, and we moved into a cockroach infestation. Broken or missing baseboards left exposed nails, despite having small children in the home. Damaged laminate was covered with caulk. An area in the bathroom that appeared to have mold was also caulked over, but the problem returned within a WEEK. The ceiling was damaged and falling. We reported it, lived with it for approximately SIX MONTHS, and IT WAS NEVER ACTUALLY FIXED before we left. We also could not get reliably hot showers, lukewarm showers AT BEST. The A/C was a nightmare during Florida's summer. The house stayed around 84-85°F and reached 86-88°F while cooking. We dealt with repeated A/C problems while living there with young children. Then came the FEES. The advertised rent was only part of the actual cost. Water/sewer, insurance requirements, pet-related costs, HOA charges where applicable, air-filter fees and other charges added up. We were billed $9.95 EVERY MONTH for a utility "setup" fee--as if utilities needed to be set up 12 times a year. We were also charged monthly for air filters that arrived only about once every THREE MONTHS. Our total payment fluctuated from month to month. 2750-3000$ Customer service was practically nonexistent. We never met our leasing agent in person and could not get meaningful help when problems arose. Yet when city citations involving the trees and sod began arriving, those emails came promptly--from a NO-REPLY ADDRESS. We were then expected to pay for sod/grass that WASN'T EVEN IN THAT CONDITION WHEN WE MOVED IN. Fortunately, we saved Invitation Homes' original listing photos only has dirt and a speck of grass and timestamped move-in photos documenting the yard's actual condition. They were highly efficient at sending automated notices, citations, charges and fees. Getting anyone to fix a falling ceiling, address the A/C, provide reliable hot water or simply SPEAK TO US was another story. The leasing agent, Liz Fernandez, told us to continue our conversation with Jack who sent any emails from a no reply email address, lol. We left the property in good condition and kept the records: listing photos, timestamped move-in photos and videos, maintenance requests, communications and billing documents. If you rent from Invitation Homes, screenshot the listing, photograph EVERYTHING before unpacking, and save every bill and maintenance request. You'll be glad you did. They are despicable!

    You keep commenting on peoples comments but no one follows up???? Never changes anything, this woman Casey doesn't call. Nothing.

    Another month, no one from Invitation homes has come to fix th huge leak that has created a large hole in my gutter...great company. Ive been robbed for years it has really sadly not let me move at this point because we cant afford it, thats their game they will do anything to screw you. I recommend strong legal and to do your research, Invitation homes is being sued by almost every state for millions:)

    grass when we moved in

    Incompetent management, delayed violations, and zero accountability Here we go again, If I can give them an negative 10, I would. I am completely disgusted with Invitation Homes Jacksonville. If you are considering renting from them, save yourself the headache and go anywhere else. We moved into a property where the grass was in terrible shape, and they assured us they would redo it. They never did. Despite that, we took matters into our own hands and hired a professional lawn service months ago. The grass is now in significantly better shape than it was when we received it. Yet, we keep getting hit with bogus lawn violations. To show you how broken their system is: today is September 1st, and we just received a violation letter dated August 28th. The picture they attached as "proof" was taken on August 12th--nearly three weeks ago! They gave us until September 6th to "fix the problem," but there isn't one to fix because our lawn service keeps it well-maintained. This isn't the first time, either. They previously charged us for a violation when they knew it wasn't even our fault. On top of the lawn nightmare, they charge a monthly fee to send AC filters, and without fail, they send the wrong size every single time. They cannot even handle basic measurements. I take immaculate care of this home, far better than how they handed it over to us. I absolutely cannot wait for our lease to end in December so I can finally wash my hands of this abysmal company. Avoid them at all costs.

    June 1st 2024, the day we moved in, clearly timestamped. The crack is already there and already very noticeable.

    **EDIT** I have been contacted by a different Invitation Homes rep named Deanna, who took the time to look back through photos and see that the crack was visible before we moved in. All credit goes to her for going the extra mile. It is appreciated. I'm told I will be credited back the amount of the erroneous charge by the end of the month. As long as that happens, I'm happy with this outcome. -------- I see so many negative reviews telling potential renters to document everything upon moving in. **THIS DOES NOT MATTER** invitation Homes will refuse to fix anything they deem "cosmetic" and "still functional," but if the problem inevitably worsens through no fault of your own, they will charge you for damages that were already there when you moved in. Invitation Homes settled a $48 million lawsuit just over a year ago for MISREPRESENTING INSPECTION/MAINTENANCE, undisclosed junk fees, and improper security deposit withholdings. But nothing has changed and they are still participating in these illegal practices. **DO NOT RENT FROM INVITATION HOMES** You will absolutely regret it. The properties are neglected, which leads to needing more maintenance, and the maintenance is embarrassingly irresponsible, inattentive, and apparently dishonest. Pictured is a photo of a cracked toilet tank we took on the day we moved in. We were told by the maintenance tech that the issue was only cosmetic and they would not fix/replace it because it was still functional. A year and half later, the crack had worsened (as we told every maintenance tech it would) and upon replacing it, they are now sending us the bill. We did not cause this damage, and should not be forced to pay for it. If it was overlooked when the previous renter moved out, that is on Invitation Homes. More likely though is that they did bill the previous renter and just pocketed the money instead of making the repair. Double dipping, if you will. Invitation Homes is scamming my family. Avoid this company at all costs.

    Invitation Homes is charging me $451 for trimming a tree where the branches were above 10 feet. We have always maintained anything below 10 feet. I asked for only 10 feet and above cut. The branches were 20 feet out from the fence line almost touching the house. The entire tree is about 30 feet tall. Also the tree was growing through the fence when we moved in. This fee is outrageous. Do not move into an Invitation home because they will bleed you dry and try to put everything on the tenant. They have tried to charge me for late fees in the past that they had to remove due to it being their responsibility. I want these charges reversed. As you can see in the photos we maintained below 10 feet. You can see the branches below 10 feet are cut back. This is a scam. You can see in the picture with the red circle that we maintained below 10 feet and those branches are cut back. The guy they sent to look at the tree even said it was too too heavy.

    This company is a complete disaster. I will not renew my lease with this company and we're still waiting for some credit that they're supposed to give us due to not be able to use the master bathroom because there was a water leak coming from the toilet and they took 72 plus days to figure it out where the issue was coming front. We are on the new 2026 new year and still we have not received any emails. Any calls anything one so ever from thesepeople, they just got ghosted itself!!

Then rates got lower, and lower, and I sat back putting real thought in to refinancing.

Finally Obama did something about that and I became eligible for the HARP program and my lender contacted me about refinancing.
