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 March 31, 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 March 31, 2024 (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

In late 2022 and early 2023, 28 putative class action lawsuits were filed against RealPage, Inc., along with over 50 of the largest owners and operators of apartment communities in the country, including the Company (the “RealPage Litigation”), alleging that RealPage and lessors of multifamily residential real estate conspired to artificially inflate the prices of multifamily residential real estate above competitive levels through the use of RealPage’s revenue management software. The plaintiffs are seeking monetary damages and attorneys’ fees and costs and injunctive relief. The Company believes the RealPage Litigation is without merit as it pertains to the Company and plans to vigorously defend the RealPage Litigation. On April 10, 2023, the Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued an order centralizing the cases in the Middle District of Tennessee for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the RealPage Litigation given its early stage. While the Company does not believe that the RealPage Litigation will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition, the Company cannot give assurance that the RealPage Litigation 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 March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s accrual for loss contingencies relating to unresolved legal matters, including the cost to defend, was $7.5 million and $7.6 million in the aggregate, respectively. The loss contingencies are presented in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
