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 December 31, 2025, the Company’s operating leases had a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately 36 years and a weighted average discount rate of approximately 4.6%.

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 Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025 (in thousands):

Legal Proceedings

In late 2022 and early 2023, multiple putative class action lawsuits were filed against RealPage, Inc. and approximately 50 of the largest owners and operators of apartment communities in the country, including the Company, alleging that RealPage and such owners and operators conspired to artificially inflate multifamily residential rental prices through the use of RealPage’s revenue management software. In April 2023, those cases were centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Tennessee in a case captioned In Re: RealPage, Inc., Rental Software Antitrust Litigation (No. II) (the “Class Action Litigation”). On January 26, 2026, the Company entered into a settlement agreement with the named plaintiffs in the Class Action Litigation, individually and on behalf of the class members. The settlement agreement remains subject to preliminary and final approval by the court. Under the terms of the settlement agreement, the Company will pay an aggregate of $53.0 million into a settlement fund to settle all claims asserted, or that could have been asserted, against the Company relating to the alleged conduct at issue in the Class Action Litigation. The settlement payment will be made in two equal installments of $26.5 million, with the first installment payable no earlier than March 2, 2026 and the second installment payable 30 days after the first payment. The settlement amount is inclusive of the recovery amount for class members, fees for the plaintiffs’ counsel, and the costs of administering the settlement. In addition, the settlement agreement includes certain prospective commitments regarding the Company’s business practices, including provisions relating to the disclosure and use of nonpublic data and the Company’s use of revenue management software, all of which the Company believes are consistent with its existing practices and will not require material changes to current operations. Under the settlement agreement, if the number of eligible class members opting out of the settlement exceeds a specified level, the Company may request that the settlement terms be revised, and if the parties then cannot agree on revised settlement terms within 60 days (as may be extended by the parties), the settlement agreement will terminate. There can be no assurance as to the ultimate outcome of the Class Action Litigation with respect to the Company, including no assurance that the settlement agreement will be approved by the court or that any revised settlement terms, if applicable, will be finalized by the parties and approved by the court. If the settlement agreement is not approved by the court or the parties otherwise cannot finalize a settlement, the Company plans to vigorously defend itself in the Class Action Litigation and the Company believes there are defenses, both factual and legal, to the allegations against it.

Other lawsuits making allegations similar to those asserted in the Class Action Litigation and seeking monetary damages and penalties, injunctive relief, and attorneys’ fees and costs have also been filed. In November 2023, a lawsuit alleging violations of the District of Columbia’s antitrust laws was filed in the Superior Court of the District of Columbia by the District of Columbia against RealPage, Inc. and a number of large apartment community owners and operators, including the Company. Similarly, in July 2025, the Commonwealth of Kentucky, through its Attorney General, filed a lawsuit in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Kentucky against RealPage, Inc. and several of the state’s largest landlords, including the Company, alleging violations of federal antitrust laws and state consumer protection laws, among other things. The Company believes there are defenses, both factual and legal, to the allegations in these proceedings and the Company plans to vigorously defend itself. As these proceedings are ongoing, it is not possible for the Company to predict any outcome or estimate the amount of loss, if any, which could be associated with any adverse decision. The Company does not believe these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on its financial condition or its results of operations; however can provide no such assurance.

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 December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s accrual for loss contingencies relating to the pending settlement described above and unresolved legal matters, including the cost to defend, was $62.5 million and $11.1 million in the aggregate, respectively. The accrual for loss contingencies is presented in “Accrued expenses and other liabilities” in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and in “Other non-operating expense (income)” in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
