Who is the tenant, and what's the lease?

An apartment community has no single tenant. The sponsor's offering summary instead describes a master tenant leasing the whole property from the trust and paying fixed rent plus percentage rent, so investor cash flow followed leasing and occupancy results rather than one corporate credit.3
