Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

1. Basis of Presentation

Sun Communities, Inc., a Maryland corporation, and all wholly-owned or majority-owned and controlled subsidiaries, including Sun Communities Operating Limited Partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), Sun Home Services, Inc. ("SHS"), Safe Harbor Marinas, LLC ("Safe Harbor") and Sun UK Holding LLC (together with its subsidiaries, "Park Holidays") are referred to herein as the "Company," "SUI," "we," "us," and "our."

We follow accounting standards set by the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB"). FASB establishes accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"), which we follow to ensure that we consistently report our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. References to GAAP issued by the FASB in these footnotes are to the FASB Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") for interim financial information and in accordance with GAAP. We present interim disclosures and certain information and footnote disclosures as required by SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements reflect, in the opinion of management, all adjustments, including adjustments of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a fair presentation of the interim financial statements. All significant intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform with current presentation, with no effect on net income. These include reclassification of certain revenues and expenses between Real property and Service, retail, dining and entertainment within our Marina segment. There was no impact to prior period net income, shareholders equity or cash flows for any of the reclassifications. Further, the reclassification had no impact on previously reported total marina net operating income ("NOI").

The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. These unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 as filed with the SEC on February 23, 2023 (our "2022 Annual Report"). These statements have been prepared on a basis that is substantially consistent with the accounting principles applied in our 2022 Annual Report.

Our three reportable segments are: (i) Manufactured home ("MH") communities, (ii) Recreational vehicle ("RV") communities and (iii) Marinas.
