The April 6 Final Hearing: What Happens Next?

The most critical date for Minnesota claimants is April 6, 2026. This is when the Hennepin County District Court will hold the Final Fairness Hearing.

During this hearing, the judge will:

1. Review Objections: Listen to any class members who believe the settlement is unfair.
2. Approve the Fund: Verify that the settlement amount adequately compensates the victims.
3. Issue a Final Order: If the judge signs the order, the settlement becomes legally binding.

When will I get my money?

Once the final order is signed, there is typically a 30-day window for any appeals. If no appeals are filed, the settlement administrator (Verita Global) will begin processing payments. Most experts expect checks and rent credits to be distributed in late June or July 2026.

How Much Money Will You Receive?

The payout for the Minnesota settlement is not a flat fee; it is calculated based on the length of your residency. The lawsuit alleged that tenants were promised a credit for maintenance that was effectively set to $0.00 in the lease.

The Payout Formula:

• Step 1: Count the number of months you lived in the property during the class period (2015–2021) without receiving a maintenance credit.
• Step 2: Multiply those months by $100.
• Step 3: Multiply that total by 55%.

Example: A tenant who lived in an Invitation Homes property for 2 years (24 months) would be eligible for a total credit of $1,320 ($2,400 x 0.55).

“Debt Relief” vs. Cash Checks

A “missing” detail that many online users are asking about is the difference between debt relief and a cash payment.

• If you still owe money: If you have an outstanding balance with Invitation Homes (such as unpaid rent or move-out fees), your settlement reward will first be used to wipe out that debt.
• If you have a zero balance: If you do not owe the company any money, or if your reward is larger than your debt, you will receive the remaining balance as a cash check or electronic transfer (Zelle, PayPal, or Venmo).

Frequently Asked Questions

I missed the February 10 deadline. Can I still file a claim?

The official portal at MNInvitationHomesSettlement.com is currently closed. You can contact the administrator at 888-808-8975 to see if they are accepting late claims for “extenuating circumstances,” but there is no guarantee.

Does this include the $47 million FTC refund?

No. This is a separate state lawsuit. However, because they cover different issues and timeframes, many Minnesota residents are eligible for both the $100/month state credit and the automatic $106 FTC check being mailed in March 2026.

What proof did I need to provide?

Claimants were generally required to provide a copy of their lease agreement showing the maintenance addendum. If your claim was flagged for missing info, the administrator should have contacted you by now.

Will I have to pay taxes on this?

Since this is considered a “rent credit” or a refund of money you already paid, it is generally not viewed as taxable income. However, large cash payouts may trigger a 1099 form—check with a tax professional in July once you receive your funds.
