Brief Executive Summary
The Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis of the House Committee on Oversight and Reform’s Select Subcommittee on the Coronavirus Crisis investigated eviction filing practices of corporate landlords, including Pretium Partners, Invitation Homes, Ventron Management, and The Siegel Group, during the first 16 months of the pandemic. Despite federal eviction moratoriums and substantial rental assistance funds, these landlords were found to have high eviction filing rates. The report requests the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and Federal Trade Commission (FTC) investigate Siegel's deceptive practices and urging Fannie Mae to scrutinize Invitation Homes' pandemic eviction representations.
