Note 7  — Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

 

The Company maintains an allowance for doubtful accounts for estimated losses resulting from the inability of a tenant to make required rent payments.  If the financial condition of a specific tenant were to deteriorate, adversely impacting its ability to make payments, allowances may be required.  At March 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, there was no balance in allowance for doubtful accounts.

 

The Company records bad debt expense as a reduction of rental income and/or tenant reimbursements.
