Investor Presentation & Business Update September 2021

Forward-Looking Statements Various statements contained in this presentation, including those that express a belief, expectation or intention, as well as those that are not statements of historical fact, are forward- looking statements. These forward-looking statements may include projections and estimates concerning the timing and success of our strategies, plans or intentions. Forward-looking statements are generally accompanied by words such as “estimate,” “project,” “predict,” “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “potential,” “plan,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook” or other words that convey the uncertainty of future events or outcomes. Examples of forward-looking statements contained in this presentation include, among others, our 2021 Guidance, our expectations with respect to the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, our belief that our acquisition and homebuilding programs will result in continued growth and the estimated timing and volume of our development deliveries. We have based these forward-looking statements on our current expectations and assumptions about future events. These assumptions include, among others, our projections and expectations regarding: market trends in the single-family home rental industry and in the local markets where we operate, our ability to institutionalize a historically fragmented business model, our business strengths, our ideal tenant profile, the quality and location of our properties in attractive neighborhoods, the scale advantage of our national platform and the superiority of our operational infrastructure, the effectiveness of our investment philosophy and diversified acquisition strategy, our ability to expand our development program, our ability to grow our portfolio and to create a cash flow opportunity with attractive current yields and upside from increasing rents and cost efficiencies and our understanding of our competition and general economic, demographic, regulatory and real estate conditions that may impact our business. While we consider these expectations and assumptions to be reasonable, they are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, regulatory and other risks, contingencies and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond our control and could cause actual results to differ materially from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Investors should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this presentation, September 20, 2021. We undertake no obligation to update any forward-looking statements to conform to actual results or changes in our expectations, unless required by applicable law. Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes to differ materially from our forward-looking statements is the adverse effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on us, our tenants, the economy and financial markets. The extent to which COVID-19 will impact our future financial results will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, including resurgences, new variants or strains, such as the Delta variant, the impact of government regulations, vaccine adoption rates, the effectiveness of vaccines, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. For a further description of the risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ from those expressed in these forward-looking statements, as well as risks relating to the business of the Company in general, see the “Risk Factors” disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2021, and in the Company’s subsequent filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Non-GAAP Financial Measures This presentation includes certain financial measures that were not prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) because we believe they help investors understand our performance. Any non-GAAP financial measures presented are not, and should not be viewed as, substitutes for financial measures required by U.S. GAAP and may not be comparable to the calculation of similar measures of other companies. Definitions of these non-GAAP financial measures and a reconciliation of these measures to GAAP is included in the Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations section of this presentation, as well as the 2Q21 Supplemental Information Package available on our website at www.americanhomes4rent.com under “For Investors.” About American Homes 4 Rent American Homes 4 Rent (NYSE: AMH) is a leader in the single-family home rental industry and “American Homes 4 Rent” is a nationally recognized brand for rental homes, known for high- quality, good value and resident satisfaction.

19 ❑ Operate responsibly ❑ Transparency in our actions ❑ Lead with Integrity Governance ❑ We are governed by a 13-member Board of Trustees, led by an Independent Chairperson. The board has ESG oversight through the Audit, Human Capital and Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance committees. ❑ Policies that provide governance: Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, Vendor Integrity Code, Whistleblower and Human Rights Statement. ❑ Cybersecurity and Privacy receive regular attention from our executives and the board. Continuous testing and employee training are critical to this monitoring. ❑ Superior customer service ❑ Champion diversity, equity and inclusion ❑ Develop our employees Social ❑ We provide more than 200,000 residents with durable, high-quality housing, and seek to deliver a superior customer experience evidenced by a growing Google resident satisfaction score. ❑ We are in Year 2 of our “Valuing Differences” program. Unconscious bias and job interview guidance for managers to promote and ensure diversity in the hiring process are among the ways we champion diversity, equity, and inclusion. Our workforce across the nation is 46% women and 38% minorities. ❑ Our Net Promoter score of 60 – 38 points above benchmark - represents our engaged workforce. Communication events and 50 hours of training per employee each year help to contribute to this and is also reflected in our decreasing turnover rate represented as 26.3% for 2020. ❑ Environmentally friendly construction ❑ Resource-efficient operations ❑ Develop communities Environment ❑ Building at scale helps us to achieve efficiencies while still providing a durable and desirable home for our residents. LED lighting, LVP flooring, Energy-efficient HVAC units and water saving fixtures and devices are among the features in our new and renovated homes that help to achieve utility efficiency. ❑ Tracking HERS scores on our newly built homes allows us to ensure an energy efficient product. In our 2020 pilot, the average HERS rating was 57 showing 43% better efficiency next to homes built in 2006. We will continue to use HERS to help consider ongoing implementation of efficiency measures. Our Approach to Sustainability

Appendix 21

22 Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations 2021 Guidance The Company does not provide guidance for the most comparable GAAP financial measures of net income or loss, rents and other single-family property revenues and property operating expenses, or a reconciliation of the forward-looking non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures because we are unable to reasonably predict certain items contained in the GAAP measures, including non-recurring and infrequent items that are not indicative of the Company’s ongoing operations. Such items include, but are not limited to, net gain or loss on sales and impairment of single-family properties, casualty loss, Non-Same-Home revenues and Non-Same-Home property operating expenses. These items are uncertain, depend on various factors and could have a material impact on our GAAP results for the guidance period. Average Blended Change in Rent The percentage change in rent on all non-month-to-month lease renewals and re-leases during the period, compared to the annual rent of the previous expired non-month-to-month comparable long-term lease for each individual property. Average Change in Rent for Re-Leases The percentage change in annual rent on properties re-leased during the period, compared to the annual rent of the comparable long-term previous expired lease for each individual property. Average Change in Rent for Renewals The percentage change in rent on non-month-to-month comparable long-term lease renewals during the period. Average Occupied Days Percentage The number of days a property is occupied in the period divided by the total number of days the property is owned during the same period after initially being placed in-service. This calculation excludes properties classified as held for sale.

Core Net Operating Income ("Core NOI“) Core NOI, which we also present separately for our Same-Home, unencumbered and encumbered portfolios, is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure that we define as core revenues, which is calculated as rents and other single-family property revenues, excluding expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs, less core property operating expenses, which is calculated as property operating and property management expenses, excluding noncash share-based compensation expense and expenses reimbursed by tenant charge-backs. Core NOI also excludes (1) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt, (2) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, (3) gains and losses from sales or impairments of single-family properties and other, (4) depreciation and amortization, (5) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (6) noncash share-based compensation expense, (7) interest expense, (8) general and administrative expense, and (9) other income and expense, net. We believe Core NOI provides useful information to investors about the operating performance of our single-family properties without the impact of certain operating expenses that are reimbursed through tenant charge-backs. Core NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income or loss as a measure of our performance and should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. Additionally, this metric should not be used as a substitute for net income or loss or net cash flows from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP). The following is a reconciliation of Core NOI to its respective GAAP metric (amounts in thousands): 23 Core NOI For the Trailing Twelve Months Ended June 30, 2021 Net income 186,230$ Gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net (49,286) Depreciation and amortization 356,684 Acquisition and other transaction costs 13,009 Noncash share-based compensation - property management 2,463 Interest expense 113,298 General and administrative expense 53,756 Other income and expense, net (1,058) Core NOI 675,096$ Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations

24 Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations Credit Ratios We present the following selected metrics because we believe they are helpful as supplemental measures in assessing the Company’s ability to service its financing obligations and in evaluating balance sheet leverage against that of other real estate companies. The tables below reconcile these metrics, which are calculated in part based on several non-GAAP financial measures (amounts in thousands, except credit ratios and percentages): Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre and Net Debt and Preferred Shares to Adjusted EBITDAre Jun 30, 2021 Total Debt 3,456,214$ Less: cash and cash equivalents (40,585) Less: asset-backed securitization certificates (25,666) Less: restricted cash related to securitizations (42,115) Net debt 3,347,848$ Preferred shares at l iquidiation value 385,000 Net debt and preferred shares 3,732,848$ Adjusted EBITDAre - TTM 636,857$ Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre 5.3 x Net Debt and Preferred Shares to Adjusted EBITDAre 5.9 x

26 Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations EBITDA / EBITDAre / Adjusted EBITDAre EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and is used by us and others as a supplemental measure of performance. EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure, which we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) by adjusting EBITDA for gains and losses from sales or impairments of single-family properties and adjusting for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures on the same basis. Adjusted EBITDAre is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure calculated by adjusting EBITDAre for (1) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, and (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt. The following is a reconciliation of net income, as determined in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDA, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre (amounts in thousands): For the Trailing Twelve Months Ended Jun 30, 2021 Net income 186,230$ Interest expense 113,298 Depreciation and amortization 356,684 EBITDA 656,212$ Gain on sale and impairment of single-family properties and other, net (49,286) Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures 1,557 EBITDAre 608,483$ Noncash share-based compensation - general and administrative 9,720 Noncash share-based compensation - property management 2,463 Acquisition, other transaction costs and other (1) 16,191 Adjusted EBITDAre 636,857$ (1) Included in acquisition, other transaction costs and other is a net $2.9 million nonrecurring expense related to a legal matter involving a former employee during the quarter ended September 30, 2020.

27 Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations Funds from Operations (“FFO”) / Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we calculate in accordance with the definition approved by NAREIT, which defines FFO as net income or loss calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales or impairment of real estate, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures to reflect FFO on the same basis. Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders is a non-GAAP financial measure that we use as a supplemental measure of our performance. We compute this metric by adjusting FFO attributable to common share and unit holders for (1) acquisition and other transaction costs incurred with business combinations and the acquisition or disposition of properties as well as nonrecurring items unrelated to ongoing operations, (2) noncash share-based compensation expense, (3) hurricane-related charges, net, which result in material charges to the impacted single-family properties, (4) gain or loss on early extinguishment of debt and (5) the allocation of income to our perpetual preferred shares in connection with their redemption. We present FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, because we consider this metric to be an important measure of the performance of real estate companies, as do many investors and analysts in evaluating the Company. We believe that FFO attributable to common share and unit holders provides useful information to investors because this metric excludes depreciation, which is included in computing net income and assumes the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time. We believe that real estate values fluctuate due to market conditions and in response to inflation. We also believe that Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders, as well as on a per FFO share and unit basis, provides useful information to investors because it allows investors to compare our operating performance to prior reporting periods without the effect of certain items that, by nature, are not comparable from period to period. FFO and Core FFO attributable to common share and unit holders are not a substitute for net income or net cash provided by operating activities, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of our operating performance, liquidity or ability to pay dividends. These metrics also are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund future cash needs. Because other REITs may not compute these measures in the same manner, they may not be comparable among REITs.

28 Defined Terms and Non-GAAP Reconciliations Same-Home Property A property is classified as Same-Home if it has been stabilized longer than 90 days prior to the beginning of the earliest period presented under comparison. A property is removed from Same-Home if it has been classified as held for sale or has been taken out of service as a result of a casualty loss. Stabilized Property A property acquired individually (i.e., not through a bulk purchase) is classified as stabilized once it has been renovated by the Company or newly constructed and then initially leased or available for rent for a period greater than 90 days. Properties acquired through a bulk purchase are first considered non-stabilized, as an entire group, until (1) we have owned them for an adequate period of time to allow for complete on-boarding to our operating platform, and (2) a substantial portion of the properties have experienced tenant turnover at least once under our ownership, providing the opportunity for renovations and improvements to meet our property standards. After such time has passed, properties acquired through a bulk purchase are then evaluated on an individual property basis under our standard stabilization criteria. Total Debt Includes principal balances on asset-backed securitizations, unsecured senior notes and borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility as of period end, and excludes unamortized discounts and unamortized deferred financing costs.
