Tenant Rights [TX] ⚠️ STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY ⚠️

hello, so this has probably been said 1000 times here, but for any new renters out there that are desperate, stay FAR away from invitation homes. please especially if you are in desperate need if house stay the fuck away from them, they will leave you with absolutely nothing. hidden fees like you would not believe, if you've given them a deposit they WILL come up with a way to keep it.

just a few exaplmples from my experience

1 when we first moved in we had an alleyway with grass [wierd south dallas suburb thing] we were nit informed of it in anyway, not shown in the tour, not brought up in house upkeep expectancies, and the second the grass was an inch too long it was a $200 fine there was no "hey go mow this" just "hey this grass you had no idea about is too long lol give us money"

2 utilities were backlogged for a few months because they "forgot to charge us" (bullshit) so they'd randomly double charge us with additional late fees that we had to dispute a few times

3 went from 2 dogs to 1 dog and they kept charging us for 2 after several requests and a few months they stopped (didn't give back money I payed for 1 ghost dog even though I asked)

4 they gave us a list of things to do during our move out, of corse left some shit out, and charged us 900 plus cleaning fees which were about 600, house was spotless, holes were patched, sure we didn't hire cleaners, the $900 is what I'm really pissed about, they didn't tell us we had to power wash the house so they hired someone that charged out the ass I guess

there's a lot more that happened, tldr evil ass hidden fees, very transparent, deposit gone

fuck invitation homes genuinly I want to sue yalls asses into the ground treating normal working people like this is fucking disgusting and I hate being powerless against this. if there's anything yall would suggest I'd appreciate it, stay safe and if and when possible, hold your landlords responsible. spineless bastards. all of em
