Commitments and Contingencies

Commitments and Contingencies

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had commitments to acquire 191 single-family properties for an aggregate purchase price of $57.8 million, as well as $443.2 million in purchase commitments for land relating to our AMH Development Program, which includes certain land deals expected to close beyond twelve months when development is ready to commence. Purchase commitments exclude option contracts where we have acquired the right to purchase land for our AMH Development Program or single-family properties because the contracts do not contain provisions requiring our specific performance.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company had sales in escrow for approximately 87 of our single-family properties for aggregate selling prices of $30.7 million.

As of June 30, 2022, the Company, as a condition for entering into some of its development contracts, had outstanding surety bonds of approximately $150.7 million.

Legal Matters

During the third quarter of 2020, we received a notice from the Georgia Attorney General’s Office (the “Georgia AG”) seeking certain information relevant to an investigation they are conducting about our customary landlord-tenant matters. We have been cooperating with the Georgia AG and have been discussing a possible negotiated resolution with the Georgia AG.

We are involved in various other legal and administrative proceedings that are incidental to our business. We believe these matters will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations upon resolution.
