What to collect first
- Lease section covering HOA/municipal responsibilities
- CC&Rs or municipal rule involved
- Original violation notice
- Cure deadline
- Photos before and after correction
- Proof sent to Invitation Homes showing cure
- Resident ledger showing each $35 admin fee
- Underlying HOA or municipal fine statement
- Any repeated notices for the same condition
The $35 admin fee is separate from the underlying fine
Current Invitation Homes materials state that a $35 HOA Admin Fee is added for each HOA or municipal violation notice received for the home. A separate HOA or municipal fine may also be added if the issue is not corrected by the compliance date.
Repeated notices can create repeated admin charges
Invitation Homes says an additional $35 HOA Admin Fee can be added for each later notice. Match every fee posting to a specific notice date so one unresolved condition is not confused with one single charge.
Save evidence of cure
The current FAQ tells residents to correct the violation and provide photos showing that the issue was resolved. Keep that proof together with the notice and ledger in case another notice or fine posts later.
Questions for the ledger
- Which notice triggered each $35 admin fee?
- Was there a separate HOA or municipal fine?
- Was the condition corrected before the compliance date?
- Did another notice arrive after proof of cure was submitted?
- Does the lease assign this condition to the resident?
