Loss Contingency [Abstract] |
Commitments and Contingencies | 10. Commitments and Contingencies Leases The Company’s operating leases include a ground lease expiring in 2074 related to one of its apartment communities and an office lease expiring in 2028 related to its corporate headquarters. Both leases contain stated rent increases that are generally intended to compensate for the impact of inflation. The Company also has other commitments related to negligible office and equipment operating leases. As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 34 years and a weighted average discount rate of approximately 4.5%. The table below reconciles undiscounted cash flows for each of the first five years and total of the remaining years to the right-of-use lease liabilities recorded on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings In late 2022 and early 2023, numerous putative class action lawsuits were filed against RealPage, Inc., a seller of revenue management software products, along with over 50 of the largest owners and operators of apartment communities in the country that have utilized these products, including the Company. The plaintiffs allege that RealPage and these multifamily housing owners and operators conspired to artificially inflate the prices of multifamily rents above competitive levels using RealPage’s revenue management software in violation of state and federal antitrust laws. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs and injunctive relief. On April 10, 2023, the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order centralizing the cases in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. Another lawsuit alleging violations of the District of Columbia’s antitrust laws and seeking similar relief was filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in November 2023 by the District of Columbia against RealPage, Inc. and a number of large apartment community owners and operators, including the Company. The Company believes there are defenses, both factual and legal, to the allegations in these various proceedings and the Company plans to vigorously defend itself. As these proceedings are in the early stages, it is not possible for the Company to predict any outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, which could be associated with any adverse decision. While the Company does not believe that any of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, the Company cannot give assurance that the proceedings will not have a material effect on its results of operations. The Company is subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of its business operations. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not currently believe that these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows in the event of a negative outcome. Matters that arise out of allegations of bodily injury, property damage and employment practices are generally covered by insurance. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s accrual for loss contingencies relating to unresolved legal matters, including the cost to defend, was $13.2 million and $7.6 million in the aggregate, respectively. The accrual for loss contingencies is presented in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and in “Other non-operating expense (income)” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
