Some of our homes are not ready to lease, but you can pay a small fee to hold it!
At least one month’s rent will hold the home for you until move-in and may be returned at move-out.
Read below about admin fees at move in and other fees you may see during your lease.
Read the list of items below to help you understand the applicable fees and other aspects of leasing with Invitation Homes. Charges may vary by location. Please check with your local office or leasing agent to confirm.
Moving is never easy, but we want to help you avoid any surprises. Please familiarize yourself with the following one-time expenses: application fee, security deposit, holding fee, admin and move-in fees. Details below.
There is a non-refundable up to $55 application fee (may vary by location) for each person over 18 applying to rent a home with Invitation Homes. This fee covers the cost of background checks, time spent reviewing the application, and any other expenses involved with the application process. It is non-refundable because expenses occur regardless of an application’s outcome.
*There are three screening results: approval, approval with extra deposit, or denial. If your screening result is an approval with extra deposit, an additional one-half month’s rent will be due at least 2 business days prior to your lease start date.
For all “coming soon” homes, a $500 holding fee must be paid within 48 hours of receiving application approval from Invitation Homes, along with signing a holding agreement. All $500 of this fee will be applied to your first month’s rent. If you break your holding agreement, this fee is non-refundable (except in California).
Depending on the date your lease begins, you may need to pay prorated rent and amenities for the time remaining in the month.
If your lease starts on or after the 20th of the month, the next month’s rent will need to be paid in full at least 2 business days prior to your lease start date. An administrative account set up fee of up to $55 in most locations is also paid with move-in funds. Fees vary in Arizona ($300), Nevada ($100), and California ($0).
In addition to your monthly rent, we require a subscription to the following services which are designed to make your lifestyle as worry-free as possible. Fees and service availability may vary by location, so be sure to ask.
Your Invitation Home comes equipped with the latest Smart Home technology for a $30 monthly fee (may vary by location) or $40 for homes with a video doorbell. Fees and service availability may vary by location. You’ll have access to remote lock and thermostat control, along with many other smart technology integrations and add-ons.
Enjoy the convenience of receiving the right air filters, right when you need them for a $9.95 monthly charge, on homes with an HVAC system. Fees may vary by location. When it automatically arrives at your doorstep, it’s time to replace your filter, making it easy to fulfill your home maintenance responsibilities as a resident.
A utility management and billing company may manage water, sewer and trash on your behalf for $9.95. May not be available in all locations. Additional charges will vary from month to month based on usage.
Your furry family members are welcome at Invitation Homes. And when it comes to relaxation, nothing beats a dip in a crystal-clear pool. But if you have a pet or pool, you will have recurring monthly fees. Please read this info.
We know your pets are part of the family, too.
Your Invitation Home may have a pool for your enjoyment. If so, there is a $120 monthly maintenance fee.
If your home is part of a Homeowner’s Association, there are violation fees when certain rules and regulations are not followed.
We want to make you aware of our violation process to help you avoid unnecessary fees, as processing these notices carries an administrative cost.
Please familiarize yourself with the expectations and restrictions that were provided as part of your lease agreement. Residents are responsible for any fines and or charges from HOAs or municipalities. Please contact your property management team if you have any questions.
