Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Presentation	1. Basis of Presentation Sun Communities, Inc., and all wholly-owned or majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, including Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), Sun Home Services, Inc. ("SHS"), Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC ("Safe Harbor") and the entities through which we operate our business in the United Kingdom (collectively, "Park Holidays") are referred to herein as the "Company," "SUI," "us," "we," or "our." We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which we follow to ensure that we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and in accordance with GAAP. We present interim disclosures and certain information and footnote disclosures as required by SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior period financial statements in order to conform to current period presentation. There was no impact to prior period net income for any of the reclassifications. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 (our "2023 Annual Report"). These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our 2023 Annual Report. Reportable Segments During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we expanded our organizational structure from three segments, which consisted of (i) manufactured home ("MH") communities, (ii) recreational vehicle ("RV") communities, and (iii) Marinas, to a four-segment structure that now includes (iv) communities in the United Kingdom ("UK"). The new structure reflects how the chief operating decision maker manages the business, makes operating decisions, allocates resources and evaluates operating performance. Beginning with the three months ended March 31, 2024, we are reporting our financial results consistent with our newly realigned operating segments and have recast prior period amounts to conform to the way we internally manage our business and monitor segment performance. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial statements and related notes in order to conform to the current period presentation. There was no impact to prior period net income, shareholders' equity or cash flows for any of the reclassifications. Restatement of Previously Issued Financial Statements As disclosed in our 2023 Annual Report, we restated the unaudited financial information as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, and the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (collectively, the "2023 Interim Financial Statements"). Accordingly, certain prior period balances within our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes have been restated, where applicable. In 2022, we acquired a portfolio of holiday park properties located in the United Kingdom, which we refer to as our Park Holidays business, classified within our UK reporting segment. As disclosed in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 20, 2024, during the course of management's 2023 year-end procedures, we reviewed the controls relating to the valuation of the Park Holidays business and the associated goodwill at March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023. In connection with that review, we concluded that there were triggering events relevant to the valuation of the Park Holidays business, including reduced financial projections and a higher weighted average cost of capital due to increases in interest rates, that should have been taken into account when preparing the 2023 Interim Financial Statements. Management undertook a full review of the valuations and determined that at each of March 31, 2023, June 30, 2023 and September 30, 2023, we should have recognized non-cash impairments to goodwill for the Park Holidays business. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, non-cash goodwill impairment increased Net loss on our Consolidated Statements of Operations by $15.4 million. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, we recorded non-cash goodwill impairment charges of $309.7 million and $325.1 million, respectively, which changed Net income to Net loss on our Consolidated Statements of Operations by these corresponding amounts.
