FTC refund program · Open
FTC Invitation Homes Settlement
The FTC is sending 444,131 checks totaling more than $47.2 million to renters who paid Invitation Homes undisclosed fees or deceptive and unfair charges between January 2021 and September 2024. People who already received a credit or refund directly from Invitation Homes are not eligible. Cash a check within 90 days; the refund administrator is Rust Consulting, on 1-800-804-6915. The FTC will not ask you to pay money to receive a refund.
There is no claim form for this one. The administrator pays consumers it has already identified, so the useful step is to make sure they can reach you — not to file anything. Anyone offering to file it for you, for a fee, is selling you nothing.

Settlements pay in batches, often in tiers, and a distribution can run for months between the first payment and the last. A start date means the administrator has begun paying valid claims — it does not mean any particular claim has been paid, and it is not a sign that a payment is on its way to any particular person.
If you filed and nothing has arrived, the administrator is the only one who can tell you where your claim stands. We hold no claim records and cannot look one up.
Average payment — our estimate
$106
This is our own arithmetic from the figures on the official page, not a number the administrator published.
Our estimate: the more than $47.2 million the FTC says it is sending, divided by the 444,131 consumers it names, is about $106. The FTC has published no average, and individual checks vary with what each renter was charged.
An average is not a forecast of any individual payment. Plans that pay pro rata, in tiers, or against documented losses produce amounts that vary enormously around it — many land well below the average, and some claims are paid nothing.
