Rental and other property revenue increased to $448.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $416.4 million for the same period in 2023. This growth is primarily attributed to a 1.8% increase in average rental rates and a 1.3% decrease in delinquencies.

Net income available to common stockholders increased to $118.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $87.3 million for the same period in 2023. This increase is driven by higher rental revenue and gains on remeasurement of co-investments.

Interest expense increased to $59.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $54.2 million for the same period in 2023. This increase is primarily due to the issuance of senior unsecured notes and increased borrowing on unsecured lines of credit.
