FTC proposes $48M settlement with Invitation Homes over deceptive rental practices.

The FTC has proposed a $48 million settlement with Invitation Homes, the largest U.S. single-family landlord, due to allegations of deceptive rental practices. The company allegedly charged undisclosed fees and withheld security deposits unfairly. If approved by a federal judge, the settlement would mandate clear disclosure of all fees, ensure fair return of security deposits, and halt unfair eviction practices, especially those affecting renters during the pandemic.
