Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various types of third-party legal claims or litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business, including, but not limited to, property loss claims, personal injury or other damages resulting from contact with the Company's properties. These claims and lawsuits and any resulting damages are generally covered by the Company's insurance policies. The Company accrues for legal costs associated with loss contingencies when these costs are probable and reasonably estimable. While the resolution of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, based on currently available information, management does not expect that the final outcome of any pending claims or legal proceedings will have a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations or cash flows of the Company.

University House Communities Group, Inc., Indemnity Claims

The Company received an indemnity notice from UHC Acquisition Sub LLC ("UHC") regarding certain matters under the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated January 3, 2016, for University House Communities Group, Inc., which was sold in June 2016. The notice set forth various items for which UHC believed they were entitled to indemnification from the Company. Based on the facts and circumstances of the indemnification claims made, guidance provided by third-party specialists and external counsel, and management's ongoing assessment of the UHC claims, the Company accrued a potential loss contingency representing their best estimate of the potential loss related to these claims. On June 14, 2019, UHC and the Company, through various negotiations, reached a final settlement for the claims in the amount of $30,000, which was paid by the Company on June 24, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recognized losses from discontinued operations of $13,500 related to these claims.
