Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract]  
Revenues
Revenues

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” using a modified retrospective transition method applied to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods after January 1, 2018 are presented under the new standard, while prior period amounts are not adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with the old revenue recognition standard.

Based on a full analysis of applicable contracts, the Company determined that the new standard did not have an impact to reported revenues from prior or current periods.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Leasing

The Company generates revenues primarily from leasing apartment homes to tenants. Such leasing revenues are recorded when due from tenants and are recognized monthly as they are earned, which is not materially different than on a straight-line basis. Apartment homes are rented under short-term leases (generally, lease terms of 6 to 12 months). Revenues from tenants leasing commercial space are recorded on a straight-line basis over the life of the respective lease.

The Company also generates other property-related revenue through the leasing of apartment homes, including storage income, pet rent, and other miscellaneous revenue. Similar to rental income, such revenues are recorded when due from tenants and recognized monthly as they are earned.

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

Apart from rental and other property-related revenue, revenues from contracts with customers are recognized as control of the promised services is passed to the customer.

For customer contracts related to management and other fees from affiliates (which includes asset management and property management), the transaction price and amount of revenue to be recognized is determined each quarter based on the management fee calculated and earned for that month or quarter. The contract will contain a description of the service and the fee percentage for management services. Payments from such services are one month or one quarter in arrears of the service performed.

Deferred Revenues and Remaining Performance Obligations

When cash payments are received or due in advance of the Company’s performance of contracts with customers, deferred revenue is recorded. The total deferred revenue balance related to such contracts was $6.9 million and $9.3 million as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively, and was included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities within the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The amount of revenue recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 that was included in the December 31, 2017 deferred revenue balance was $2.4 million, which was included in interest and other income within the condensed consolidated statements of income and comprehensive income.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account in the new revenue recognition accounting standard. As of September 30, 2018, the Company had $6.9 million of remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 11% of these remaining performance obligations in 2018, an additional 43% through 2020, and the remaining balance thereafter.

Practical Expedients

The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for contracts with an original expected length of one year or less or when variable consideration is allocated entirely to a wholly unsatisfied performance obligation.
