Equity [Abstract]  
Shareholders' Equity / Partners' Capital Shareholders’ Equity / Partners’ Capital
When the Company issues common or preferred shares, the Operating Partnership issues an equivalent number of units of partnership interest of a corresponding class to AMH, with the Operating Partnership receiving the net proceeds from the share issuances.
At-the-Market Common Share Offering Program

During the second quarter of 2023, the Company entered into a new at-the-market common share offering program, replacing the previously expiring program, under which it can issue Class A common shares from time to time through various sales agents up to an aggregate gross sales offering price of $1.0 billion (the “2023 At-the-Market Program”). The 2023 At-the-Market Program also provides that we may enter into forward contracts for our Class A common shares with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The Company intends to use any net proceeds from the 2023 At-the-Market Program (i) to repay indebtedness the Company has incurred or expects to incur under its revolving credit facility or other debt obligations under its securitizations, (ii) to develop new single-family properties and communities, (iii) to acquire and renovate single-family properties and for related activities in accordance with the Company’s business strategy and (iv) for working capital and general corporate purposes, including repurchases of the Company’s securities, acquisitions of additional properties, capital expenditures and the expansion, redevelopment and/or improvement of properties in the Company’s portfolio. The 2023 At-the-Market Program may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company issued 932,746 Class A common shares under its 2023 At-the-Market Program, raising $33.7 million in gross proceeds before commissions and other expenses of approximately $0.5 million. As of March 31, 2024, 3,732,429 shares have been issued under the 2023 At-the-Market Program and $864.3 million remained available for future share issuances.

During the first quarter of 2024, the Company entered into a forward sale agreement with the forward purchaser (the “March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement”), which is accounted for in equity, to offer 2,987,024 Class A common shares on a forward basis under its 2023 At-the-Market Program at the request of the Company by the forward seller. The Company expects to physically settle the March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement by the delivery of the Class A common shares and receive proceeds by February 28, 2025, although the Company has the right to elect settlement prior to that time subject to certain conditions. Although the Company expects to physically settle, the March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement allows the Company to cash or net-share settle all or a portion of its obligations. If the Company elects to cash or net share settle the March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement, the Company may not receive any proceeds, and may owe cash or Class A common shares to the forward purchaser in certain circumstances. The March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement is subject to early termination or settlement under certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2024, the Company has estimated net proceeds of approximately $108.6 million available from future settlement under the March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement, subject to adjustment in accordance with the forward sale transaction.

Share Repurchase Program

The Company’s board of trustees authorized the establishment of our share repurchase program for the repurchase of up to $300.0 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The program does not have an expiration date, but may be suspended or discontinued at any time without notice. All repurchased shares are constructively retired and returned to an authorized and unissued status. The Operating Partnership funds the repurchases and constructively retires an equivalent number of corresponding Class A units. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we did not repurchase and retire any of our Class A common shares or preferred shares. As of March 31, 2024, we had a remaining repurchase authorization of up to $265.1 million of our outstanding Class A common shares and up to $250.0 million of our outstanding preferred shares under the program.
