According to the FTC, the largest US landlord of single-family homes advertised monthly rents without mandatory additional fees (for example for smart home technology or utility management), which could add up to more than 1,700 USD a year and only appeared in the lease; further allegations concerned withheld security deposits and evictions. Under the settlement, Invitation Homes is paying 48 million USD for refunds and must include mandatory fees in the advertised price.

Unavoidable fees belong in the first advertised price, not in the contract documents.
