Invitation Homes reported improving rental supply in several markets that had previously been affected by tight supply, while monitoring potential “shadow” supply from accidental landlords. A separate report described accidental landlords and unsold homes being rented out as growing competition, particularly in Sun Belt markets. This additional rental supply could pressure lease rates and occupancy and make pricing and tenant retention more challenging.
