    Question

    Yana Gallen asked for more details on the operational improvements MAA is seeing in the Atlanta market, noting that broader market data still appears weak.

    Answer

    Tim Argo, EVP & COO, clarified that the improvement in Atlanta is relative. While it still lags the overall portfolio, its new lease pricing is the best it has been since early 2023, and year-over-year occupancy has improved by approximately 120 basis points, showing a significant turnaround from its performance in 2024.
