Invitation Homes Scraper: US Single-Family Rental Homes, Rent, Fees and Lease Terms

Invitation Homes Scraper is an Apify Actor that extracts the single-family homes for rent on invitationhomes.com, the largest US single-family rental landlord. On 2026-11-02 the site listed 4,554 homes in 20 markets. Each home comes with base rent, total monthly rent with required fees, every fee, lease terms from 12 to 24 months, bedrooms, bathrooms, square feet and square meters, coordinates, photos, availability, specials and nearby schools. It also returns the 20 market pages and 21 leasing offices. No login or proxy is needed. Pay per result.

Export the result as JSON, CSV, Excel, XML or HTML, or read it through the Apify API.

What can you scrape from Invitation Homes?

• Homes for rent (listing): one row per home, with base rent, total monthly rent with fees, the list of fees, all lease terms, address, coordinates, market, community, bedrooms, bathrooms, living area, amenities, pet policy, availability date, status, specials, new construction flag, self-tour and application links, nearby schools, floor plans, virtual tour link and photos.
• Markets (market): one row per market with the live home count, the total homes, the cities served, highlights and featured collections.
• Leasing offices (office): one row per office with address, brokerage licence number and the markets it serves. Business phone numbers and e-mail come back only if you switch them on.

Why use this Invitation Homes scraper?

• The real monthly cost of a home: totalMonthlyRent is the rent plus the required monthly fees, and fees lists each fee with amount, required flag and frequency.
• Every lease term: most homes offer a rent for each length from 12 to 24 months, and isBestValue marks the term the site flags.
• Whole inventory without a URL list: the Actor starts from the site map, so it can read all 4,554 homes or only a market, state or ZIP code.
• Cheap place filters: the ZIP code is part of each home address on the site map, so homes of other places are never opened.
• Only-new mode: scheduled runs return just the homes that were not in the previous run of the same search.

How to scrape Invitation Homes in four steps

1. Create a free account at console.apify.com and open this Actor.
2. Pick the filters you need: Markets, States, Cities, ZIP codes, bedrooms, bathrooms, rent and size. Leave them empty to read the whole inventory.
3. Set Max Items and press Start. A 3-home run finishes in a few seconds.
4. Download the dataset from the Storage tab.

To read one home, paste its URL in Start URLs or its address slug, for example 1082-clogger-ln-80817-8566, in Home addresses. To read a market, paste a market URL or choose it in Markets. To get markets and leasing offices, choose them in Record types. A city filter without a state or market opens more pages, because most home addresses on the site map do not name the city.

What data do you get from Invitation Homes?

Every row has a recordType: listing, market or office. A listing row carries 49 to 63 of the 79 columns, depending on what the home page states. A value that is missing means the site does not state it; the Actor never pads a column.

How much does the Invitation Homes Scraper cost?

Pay per result, no monthly fee. Prices are USD per result on the Free tier.

Event	Charged for	Per result	Per 1,000
Listing record	One home for rent	$0.022	$22.00
Market record	One market	$0.01467	$14.67
Office record	One leasing office	$0.01467	$14.67

Worked examples: 1,000 homes cost $22.00. All 20 markets cost 20 x $0.01467 = $0.29. All 21 leasing offices cost 21 x $0.01467 = $0.31. A full run over the 4,554 homes of 2026-11-02 costs about 4,554 x $0.022 = $100.19, so use a market, state or ZIP code filter when you need only a part. Rows skipped by monitor mode are not charged.

How does it compare with other rental scrapers?

Zillow carries many landlords and sale listings, so use it for broad market coverage. Choose this Actor to read one landlord end to end with fees and lease terms. The other alternatives are a manual export from the site or a browser scraper you maintain yourself.

Is it legal to scrape Invitation Homes? Limits and responsible use

The Actor reads public pages that invitationhomes.com shows to every visitor, without logging in, at a slow and steady pace. It reads the site map, home pages and market pages, which the robots.txt of the site leaves open, and never calls the paths that file disallows. Photos come back as links to the site's own files. The landlord is a company, and office phone numbers and e-mail are business data that come back only when you turn on Include leasing office contact data.

The terms of use of invitationhomes.com, read on 2026-11-02, grant a personal, non-commercial licence and mention crawlers and scrapers. Check the site terms before republishing commercially. Whether your use is allowed depends on your purpose, your country and the terms you accepted, and the decision is yours.

Limits:

• A full run opens one page per home, so plan it as a long job. The Actor reads two to three home pages a second.
• Max home pages to open and Max run time (seconds) bound a wide search.
• Free Apify plans are limited to 10 items per run.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Invitation Homes scraper need a proxy or an account?

No. It uses plain requests, needs no login, no API key and solves no captcha. The proxy field exists but is off by default, and the Actor switches to the Apify datacenter proxy only if the site keeps refusing the connection. You only need an Apify account, and the free plan returns up to 10 rows per run.

How many homes does Invitation Homes have for rent?

On 2026-11-02 the site map listed 4,554 homes in 20 markets: for example 808 in Atlanta, 563 in Tampa, 491 in Phoenix, 415 in the Carolinas, 374 in Orlando, 329 in Dallas, 325 in South Florida and 4 in Austin. The numbers move every day, so schedule the Actor to follow them.

Does it return the full rent, with fees?

Yes. price is the base rent, fees lists every fee with its amount, whether it is required and how often it is charged, and totalMonthlyRent is the rent plus the required monthly fees. Utilities are the resident's cost and are not part of the total, as the site's disclosure on each home says.

What are the lease terms in the data?

Most homes offer a rent for every lease length from 12 to 24 months, and the rent is not the same for each. leaseTerms returns all of them with the rent and the total monthly rent per term, and isBestValue marks the term the site flags as best value.

How do I get only one city, ZIP code or metro area?

Choose the market or state in the input, or type a ZIP code. Homes outside it are skipped without being opened, so the run stays short. A city on its own works too, but it opens more pages, because the site map does not name the city for most homes.

How do I only get new homes on a schedule?

Turn on Only new rows (monitor mode) and name the search in Monitor name. The first run delivers the homes it finds and remembers their ids; the next runs deliver only homes that were not seen before and do not charge for the rest. Turn on Forget previously seen rows to start over.

Why are some columns empty in my export?

The site does not state the value for that home. Pre-market homes have no photos or description yet, only some homes belong to a community, have a leasing special, a virtual tour or a self-tour link, and not every home has floor plans. Sparse columns are normal; the Actor never invents values.

How much does a run cost?

The Actor is billed per result. A home costs $0.022, so 1,000 homes cost $22.00; a market or an office costs $0.01467. Free users get up to 10 rows per run as a preview, and paid users can set Max Items up to 1,000,000, far above the 4,554 homes the site lists.
