MAA reported fourth-quarter results with Core FFO performance exceeding expectations. Solid demand, driven by stable employment, positive migration trends, and historically low resident move-outs, contributed to the positive results. New apartment supply is currently impacting rent growth performance and will likely persist through the summer leasing season.

Same Store Portfolio property operating expense and Net Operating Income (NOI) increased by 5.9% and 0.1%, respectively, as compared to the same period in the prior year.
