GBIncantation homes acquired my property… Incantation homes acquired my property some time at the end of 2023. In January 2024 I was sent an email stating my rent would increase from $2100 to $2520. I let them not I would not be signing a lease with them. I was contacted by an individual in April 2024 who wanted to negotiate the rent increase in an attempt to get us to stay. I told him we would not be doing that. Now from January until April we did not have access to the digital copy of our lease because they did not import them over from the previous property management company. I took possession of the property in May of 2023 but the lease they had stated my agreement was up in April of 2024 not May 2023. Long story boring after lots of unanswered emails and phone calls invitation homes raised my last months rent to $2520 and added an additional $504 “month to month” rent on top of that. I have been a renter in seven different states over the last 16 years and never once have I had a month to month rent tacked on. I would not recommend this company to anyone

GBThis company is a bunch of thieves!! This company is a bunch of thieves!!! My mom was trying to apply for a home, but couldn't get my brother verified. She tried and tried. She contacted the company that told her to just make another account for him, which she did several times, but each time was the same result. She called again to try and get it sorted out, and she was told that a manager from the company would contact her and help her. But nobody ever did. While waiting for someone to call or help with something, they just decided to cancel the application and take the $150 she had paid for her and the other two applicants. These people are just a bunch of thieves!!! Dishonest, lying thieves. Not to mention that it says that you're responsible for pest control when the California law states it is the responsibility of the home owner. They go about buying up all the houses, and then don't let you even finish the application, or help you to do so in any way!

GBFORCED internet package-Can not opt-out on They are now starting a new policy of forcing tenants in my area who are renting with them to have a 85.00 internet bundle package added to the already increased rent! I have called and asked for them to remove this bundle package because I do not even watch cable but my leasing consultant said it was a nationwide roll out and she couldn't do anything about it. Why not actually ask the people who are renting from you all if that is a service they want first before FORCING THEM TO PAY IT and having not the choice to opt-out on it. THAT IS NOT RIGHT. This company rent gouges and they know it. This company already charges 9.95 for air filter fees, a smart home fee (thankfully I opted out on-AND WAS ALLOWED TO OPT OUT ON), and now they are FORCING you to add a 85.00 internet bundle package to your lease if you renew with them for the 2024-2025 year. I don't even watch cable! Why is this company forcing this on the tenants?! All it is, is more money in the pockets for this company. Stop rent gouging!

GBTerrible Customer Service/Overcharging Fees I am a current tenant and scheduled to move out in a few days. I have been a ten ant for 3 consecutive years and have never missed a payment or was ever late until I tried to schedule auto pay. It did it on the 1st day of the month thinking it would be processed that same day. I was charged a late fee because they said it needed to be done a day earlier than the 1st day of the month. Although the auto pay was accepted the following month the payment was also not processed thus resulting in being charged more late fees. I started driving 40 miles to drop off my payment which I did for almost 5 months while I waited for return calls that were promised within 24-48 hours. I was being charged for Renter's Insurance while I had my own coverage. I sent copies of proof of insurance and yet I am still being charged. Just this past few days I made a payment inclusive of the late fees and as late as yesterday I see I still owe IH $62 which also include insurance. No one ever calls back. You can't speak directly to anyone. Perhaps the worst communication set up in history.

GBInvitation Homes Agent Review In all of my years working with real estate related agents, I have never dealt with anyone as competent, compassionate and professional as Cristina Filippelli. She is by far Invitation's best asset and truth be told, I probably would not have been able to do business with them without her help. If you indeed lease from Invitation in the Jacksonville area, consider yourself exceptionally fortunate to have her as your advocate. Danny P
