Lessor Leases

The Company has operating leases in which it is the lessor for its rental property. Certain leases contain variable lease payments based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Certain leases contain options to renew or terminate the lease, and options for the lessee to purchase the rental property, all of which are predominately at the sole discretion of the lessee.

The following table summarizes the components of rental income recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

	Three months ended June 30,				Six months ended June 30,
Rental Income (in thousands)	2020		2019		2020		2019
Fixed lease payments	$	91,234	$	74,958	$	181,630	$	147,075
Variable lease payments	25,588		19,258		50,594		41,439
Straight-line rental income	1,823		3,292		5,750		5,576
Net decrease to rental income related to above and below market lease amortization	(1,174)		(1,146)		(2,164)		(2,113)
Total rental income	$	117,471	$	96,362	$	235,810	$	191,977

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 the Company evaluated its operating leases and determined that the future collectability of six leases was not reasonably assured. As a result the Company converted to the cash basis of accounting for these leases which resulted in a reduction of rental income of approximately $1.2 million, $0.9 million, $0, and $0 for three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to the reversal of accrued rent. Additionally, there was $0.6 million, $0.6 million, $0, and $0 of contractual rental income that was not recognized for payments that were not received from the tenants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued rental income of approximately $51.3 million and $44.3 million, respectively, included in tenant accounts receivable on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $28.2 million and $22.6 million, respectively, of total lease security deposits available in the form of existing letters of credit, which are not reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of lease security deposits available in cash, which are included in restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s remaining lease security deposits are commingled in cash and cash equivalents. These funds may be used to settle tenant accounts receivables in the event of a default under the related lease. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s total liability associated with these lease security deposits was approximately $10.0 million and $9.8 million, respectively, and is included in tenant prepaid rent and security deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The Company estimates that billings for real estate taxes, which are the responsibility of certain tenants under the terms of their leases and are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, was approximately $4.9 million, $9.7 million, $4.1 million and $8.0 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. These amounts would have been the maximum real estate tax expense of the Company, excluding any penalties or interest, had the tenants not met their contractual obligations for these periods.

The following table summarizes the maturity of fixed lease payments under the Company’s leases as of June 30, 2020.
