“Wall Street landlord Invitation Homes ruined my life. For seven years my family lived in our home, faithfully paying them every month, even though my $1,750 rent always mysteriously became $2,100 or $2,200 with unexplained fees. In June of 2024, I was in a life threatening car accident that left me hospitalized for weeks, causing my income to be reduced. I applied for housing assistance immediately and was approved to help me cover my rent, but Invitation Homes refused to sign a simple letter saying they wouldn’t evict me after getting the money, which disqualified me from assistance. 

My children and I were evicted on October 31st of last year. Until late January of this year my kids and I were homeless. It was very difficult to find a new home because Invitation Homes owns the majority of the rentals in the Sacramento area. The trauma and stress of this experience have caused a depression I’m still struggling with every day.”
