Invitation Homes Transfer Fee & New Move-In Costs

Invitation publishes a specific mid-lease transfer fee

The current Invitation Homes transfer page states that a resident completing a mid-lease transfer must pay a non-refundable $1,500 transfer fee within 10 days. Use the current transfer approval and invoice for the individual transaction.

The new home can require a second cash outlay

Invitation currently says the full security deposit and other move-in funds for the new home must be paid before transfer. The existing deposit may not be transferred unless the local team approves it. That can create a temporary period where the resident has new-home cash tied up before the old deposit is returned or credited.

Transfer requires a new lease and screening

The current process says eligible residents must pass application screening and sign a new lease. New leaseholders joining the new home also go through the application process.

Mid-lease and end-of-lease transfers differ

• Mid-lease transfer: 30-day notice plus transfer requirements.
• End-of-lease transfer: current page states 60-day notice and a new-home application/approval.
• The new-home security deposit and move-in funds remain a separate budget item.
