One of the largest single-family-home rental companies will pay almost $20 million to resolve claims it systematically made renovations without permits in California.
One of the nation’s largest single-family-home rental companies has agreed to pay nearly $20 million to resolve allegations it made unpermitted renovations across its portfolio in California. Invitation Homes, which owns 12,000 homes in the state, will pay $8 million to Los Angeles and 34 other cities, $8 million to Blackbird Special Ventures, a San Diego-based business that brought the lawsuit, and $4 million in attorney’s fees, under a proposed settlement filed in federal court Monday.
“If work is being done without a permit, it’s not being inspected and we don’t know if it’s up to code,” McKnight said. “We don’t know if tenants are moving into a home that’s safe.” Invitation Homes did not admit wrongdoing in the case and continued to deny the allegations in a statement. It said settling the litigation was “in the best interest of all its stakeholders and allows the company to better focus on its core business operations.
