Lennar homeowners are posting TikTok videos of cracked foundations, splitting walls and moldy closets, and one Celina, Texas, walkthrough has passed 10.6 million views, the New York Post reported on November 4, 2026. The videos arrive as defect litigation against the Miami-based builder continues in several states.
Lennar Videos Show Cracks, Mold and Sagging Floors
The Texas homeowner, who posts as TexpatBBQ, follows a fissure about an inch wide climbing the brick from the foundation toward the roofline, then shows damage in a bathroom. "And here is where the bath faucet is literally coming off the wall," he says. "We have cracks in the ceiling. We have doors that don't shut." He says he has spent a year pressing Lennar to act while the home is still covered by its 10-year warranty, and that after inspectors visited he received an email calling the damage "purely cosmetic." Lennar later posted online that it knew about the videos and had been talking with him directly.
In Austin, Paige of @turnmypaige drew more than 580,000 views tracing a ceiling crack she says lines up with fractures in her tile floor and a split in the foundation. "I have talked to various neighbors who have also experienced this," she says. "So it's not just me." Houston homeowner Ashley Frazier, who posts as AshThorLoki, is suing Lennar over mold in the home she bought in 2021 and told the Wall Street Journal she had daily asthma attacks, headaches, dizziness and rashes in under two years.
The social media posts mirror litigation. In March 2025, the Seminole Tribe of Florida took Lennar to Broward Circuit Court over 552 homes belonging to or rented by tribal members, claiming shoddy construction bred humidity, mold, spores and dust mites that made people sick. Lennar has denied wrongdoing and said it offered a "comprehensive plan" to tackle the problems. The builder recently brought dozens of subcontractors into the case, arguing they should cover the bill if Lennar loses. In October, owners in a California Lennar subdivision filed suit in state court, blaming cracked concrete and leaky pipes for at least $1 million in damage.
Lennar's Scale and Recent Leadership Changes
According to akta.pro company records, Lennar reported FY2025 revenue of $32.7 billion, down 4.2% year-over-year, and net income of approximately $1.6 billion at a 5% net margin. The same records show 82,583 new home deliveries in FY25. Lennar was founded in 1954 and is led by Executive Chairman and CEO Stuart Miller; the records list Jim Parker as Chief Operating Officer and David Grove as Executive Vice President of Homebuilding, both promoted in June 2026.
Earlier Lennar Sales and Financing Moves
Lennar was the top September new-home seller in Las Vegas with 108 net sales, the only builder to report triple-digit sales, the Las Vegas Review-Journal reported. On October 29, 2026, Lennar amended its revolving credit facility to $3.795 billion in commitments, with potential borrowing capacity up to $4.545 billion, and extended Class A maturity to November 2031, according to TradingView. Millrose Properties acquired 1,233 single-family homes from Lennar for about $333 million, Seeking Alpha reported on October 27, 2026.
Seminole Tribe Case Subcontractor Claims
Lennar's move to bring subcontractors into the Seminole Tribe case leaves their liability to be determined in Broward Circuit Court. The California suit filed in October seeks damages for cracked concrete and leaky pipes.
