Lessee Finance Lease Description
LesseeFinanceLeaseDescription
|
The Company is a lessor for its residential and non-residential leases and is a lessee for its corporate headquarters and regional offices and ground leases for land underlying current operating properties or projects under development. If applicable, lease agreements must be evaluated to determine the accounting treatment as a finance or operating lease in accordance with the lease standard. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it meets any of the following criteria: (a) Ownership of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee by the end of the lease term; (b) the lessee has and is reasonably certain to exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset; (c) the lease term is for the major part of the remaining economic life of the underlying asset; (d) the present value of future minimum lease payments is equal to substantially all of the fair value of the underlying asset; and (e) the underlying asset is expected to have no alternative use to the lessor at the end of the lease term due to its specialized nature. | |

Actual results could differ from these estimates. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, management evaluated whether its estimates, such as lease collectibility (discussed below in <span style="font-style:italic;">Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements</span>) and impairment, required revised approaches and generally concluded that no revisions were necessary at this time. </p> | |
