Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS | ORGANIZATION AND NATURE OF OPERATIONS National Storage Affiliates Trust was organized in the state of Maryland on May 16, 2013 and is a fully integrated, self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust focused on the self storage sector. As used herein, "NSA," the "Company," "we," "our," and "us" refers to National Storage Affiliates Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, except where the context indicates otherwise. The Company has elected and believes that it has qualified to be taxed as a real estate investment trust for U.S. federal income tax purposes ("REIT") commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2015. Through its controlling interest as the sole general partner of NSA OP, LP (its "operating partnership"), a Delaware limited partnership formed on February 13, 2013, the Company is focused on the ownership, operation, and acquisition of self storage properties predominantly located within the top 100 MSAs in the United States. Pursuant to the Agreement of Limited Partnership (as amended, the "LP Agreement") of its operating partnership, the Company's operating partnership is authorized to issue preferred units, Class A Units ("OP units"), different series of Class B Units ("subordinated performance units"), and Long-Term Incentive Plan Units ("LTIP units"). The Company also owns certain of its self storage properties through other consolidated limited partnership subsidiaries of its operating partnership, which the Company refers to as "DownREIT partnerships." The DownREIT partnerships issue equity ownership interests that are intended to be economically equivalent to the Company's OP units ("DownREIT OP units") and subordinated performance units ("DownREIT subordinated performance units"). The Company owned 809 consolidated self storage properties in 38 states and Puerto Rico with approximately 51.9 million rentable square feet in approximately 407,000 storage units as of December 31, 2023, which excludes self storage properties classified as held for sale consisting of (i) 39 self storage properties located in eight states, comprising approximately 2.4 million rentable square feet, configured in approximately 18,000 storage units to be sold to a third party in 2024 and (ii) 56 self storage properties located in seven states, comprising approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet, configured in approximately 24,000 storage units that were contributed to the 2024 Joint Venture in 2024. These properties are managed with local operational focus and expertise by the Company and its participating regional operators ("PROs"). As of December 31, 2023, these PROs are Optivest Properties LLC and its controlled affiliates ("Optivest"), Guardian Storage Centers LLC and its controlled affiliates ("Guardian"), Southern Storage Management Systems, Inc. d/b/a Southern Self Storage ("Southern"), Blue Sky Self Storage LLC, a strategic partnership between Argus Professional Storage Management and Uplift Development Group (formerly known as GYS Development LLC) ("Blue Sky"), affiliates of Investment Real Estate Management, LLC d/b/a Moove In Self Storage ("Moove In"), Hide-Away Storage Services, Inc. and its controlled affiliates ("Hide-Away"), Arizona Mini Storage Management Company d/b/a Storage Solutions and its controlled affiliates ("Storage Solutions"), and an affiliate of Shader Brothers Corporation d/b/a Personal Mini Storage ("Personal Mini"). Effective January 1, 2022, Northwest retired as one of the Company's PROs. As a result of the retirement, on January 1, 2022, management of our properties in the Northwest managed portfolio was transferred to the Company and the Northwest brand name and related intellectual property was internalized by the Company, and the Company discontinued payment of any supervisory and administrative fees or reimbursements to Northwest. Effective January 1, 2023, one of our PROs, Move It Self Storage and its controlled affiliates, retired as one of the Company's PROs. As a result of the retirement, on January 1, 2023, management of our properties in the Move It managed portfolio was transferred to the Company and the Move It brand name and related intellectual property was internalized by the Company, and the Company discontinued payment of any supervisory and administrative fees or reimbursements to Move It. As of December 31, 2023, the Company also managed through its property management platform an additional portfolio of 185 properties owned by the Company's unconsolidated real estate ventures.

Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Principles of Consolidation The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its operating partnership and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued on the consolidation of VIEs. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions of additional guidance to determine whether the general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain rights. The Company consolidates all entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that its operating partnership is a VIE. The sole significant asset of National Storage Affiliates Trust is its investment in its operating partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of its operating partnership. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's operating partnership was the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, 22 DownREIT partnerships that are considered VIEs, which owned 49 self storage properties. The net book value of the real estate owned by these VIEs was $418.9 million and $412.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For certain DownREIT partnerships which are subject to fixed rate mortgages payable, the carrying value of such fixed rate mortgages payable held by these VIEs was $188.7 million and $188.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company's general credit. Noncontrolling Interests All of the limited partner equity interests ("OP equity") in its operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than the Company's operating partnership. In the consolidated statements of operations, the Company allocates net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. For transactions that result in changes to the Company's ownership interest in its operating partnership, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted to reflect such changes. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interests is adjusted is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. Self Storage Properties Self storage properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of an asset, are capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and are included in property operating expenses. Estimated depreciable lives of self storage properties are determined by considering the age and other indicators about the condition of the assets at the respective dates of acquisition, resulting in a range of estimated useful lives for assets within each category. All self storage property assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives primarily between seven three When a self storage property is acquired, the purchase price of the acquired self storage property is allocated to land, buildings and improvements, furniture and equipment, customer in-place leases, assumed real estate leasehold interests, and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on the estimated fair value of each component. When a portfolio of self storage properties is acquired, the purchase price is allocated to the individual self storage properties based on the fair value determined using an income approach with appropriate risk-adjusted capitalization rates, which take into account the relative size, age and location of the individual self storage properties. Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced a loss that resulted from exceeding federally insured limits. Restricted Cash The Company's restricted cash consists of escrowed funds deposited with financial institutions resulting from property sales for which we elected to purchase replacement property in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code, for real estate taxes, insurance and other reserves for capital improvements in accordance with the Company's loan agreements. Customer In-place Leases In allocating the purchase price for a self storage property acquisition, the Company determines whether the acquisition includes intangible assets. The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to an intangible asset attributed to the value of customer in-place leases. This intangible asset is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over 12 months, the estimated average rental period for the leases. Substantially all of the leases in place at acquired properties are at market rates, as the leases are month-to-month contracts. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets The Company evaluates long-lived assets for impairment when events and circumstances indicate that there may be impairment. When events or changes in circumstances indicate that the Company's long-lived assets may not be recoverable, the carrying value of these long-lived assets is compared to the undiscounted future net operating cash flows, plus a terminal value attributable to the assets. If an asset's carrying value is not considered recoverable, an impairment loss is recorded to the extent the net carrying value of the asset exceeds the fair value. For the periods presented, no assets were determined to be impaired under this policy. Long Lived Assets Held for Sale The Company considers long-lived assets to be “held for sale” upon satisfaction of the following criteria: (a) management commits to a plan to sell an asset (or group of assets), (b) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, (c) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated, (d) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to be completed within one year, (e) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (f) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. Typically these criteria are all met when the relevant asset is under contract, significant non-refundable deposits have been made by the potential buyer, the assets are immediately available for transfer, and there are no contingencies related to the sale that may prevent the transaction from closing. However, each potential transaction is evaluated based on its separate facts and circumstances. Assets classified as held for sale are reported at the lesser of carrying value or fair value less estimated costs to sell and are not depreciated. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $550.2 million of self storage properties classified as held for sale, consisting of 39 self storage properties to be sold to a third party in 2024 and 56 self storage properties that were contributed to the 2024 Joint Venture in February 2024. The Company measured the self storage properties' fair value based on the contracted sale price and determined there was no impairment of these properties. There were no self storage properties held for sale as of December 31, 2022. Costs of Raising Capital Commissions, legal fees and other costs that are directly associated with equity offerings are capitalized as deferred offering costs, pending a determination of the success of the offering. Deferred offering costs related to successful offerings are charged to additional paid-in capital within equity in the period it is determined that the offering was successful. Debt issuance costs are amortized over the estimated life of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. Revenue Recognition Rental revenue Rental revenue consists of space rentals and related fees. Management has determined that all of the Company's leases are operating leases. Substantially all leases may be terminated on a month-to-month basis and rental income is recognized ratably over the lease term using the straight-line method. Rents received in advance are deferred and recognized on a straight-line basis over the related lease term associated with the prepayment. Promotional discounts and other incentives are recognized as a reduction to rental income over the applicable lease term. Other property-related revenue Other property-related revenue primarily consists of ancillary revenues such as tenant insurance and/or tenant warranty protection-related access fees and sales of storage supplies which are recognized in the period earned. The Company and certain of the Company’s PROs have tenant insurance- and/or tenant warranty protection plan-related arrangements with insurance companies and the Company’s tenants. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $24.1 million, $19.8 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection plan revenues. The Company sells boxes, packing supplies, locks and other retail merchandise at its properties. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized retail sales of $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Management fees and other revenue Management fees and other revenue consist of property management fees, platform fees, call center fees, acquisition fees, and a portion of tenant warranty protection or tenant insurance proceeds that the Company earns for managing and operating its unconsolidated real estate ventures. With respect to both the 2018 Joint Venture and the 2016 Joint Venture, the Company provides supervisory and administrative property management services, centralized call center services, and technology platform and revenue management services to the properties in the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The property management fees are equal to 6% of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues from the assets of the unconsolidated real estate ventures, and the platform fees are equal to $1,250 per month per unconsolidated real estate venture property. With respect to the 2016 Joint Venture only, the call center fees are equal to 1% of each of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues from the 2016 Joint Venture properties. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized property management fees, call center fees and platform fees of $16.8 million, $16.5 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The Company also earns acquisition fees for properties acquired by the unconsolidated real estate ventures subsequent to the Initial 2016 JV Portfolio and the Initial 2018 JV Portfolio. These fees are based on a percentage of the gross capitalization of the acquired assets determined by the members of the 2016 Joint Venture and the 2018 Joint Venture, and are generally earned when the unconsolidated real estate ventures obtain title and control of an acquired property. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized acquisition fees of $0, $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company provides or makes available tenant insurance or tenant warranty protection programs for tenants at its properties. For certain of the properties in the Company’s consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated real estate ventures, the Company provides such tenant insurance through the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance company and a separate reinsurance company in which the Company has a partial ownership interest. With respect to properties in both of the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures, the Company receives 50% of all proceeds from tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection programs at each unconsolidated real estate venture property in exchange for facilitating the programs at those properties. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $17.2 million, $9.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of revenue related to these activities. Advertising Costs The Company incurs advertising costs primarily attributable to internet, directory and other advertising. Advertising costs are included in property operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. These costs are expensed in the period in which the cost is incurred. The Company incurred advertising costs of $15.3 million, $10.0 million and $6.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Acquisition Costs The Company incurs title, legal and consulting fees, and other costs associated with the completion of acquisitions. The Company's self storage property acquisitions are accounted for as asset acquisitions, and accordingly, acquisition costs directly related to the self storage property acquisitions were capitalized as part of the basis of the acquired properties. Indirect acquisition costs remain included in acquisition costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they were incurred. Income Taxes The Company has elected and believes it has qualified to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. To qualify as a REIT, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its shareholders that it derives from its REIT qualifying activities. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and is unable to avail itself of certain provisions set forth in the Code, all of the Company's taxable income would be subject to federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates. The Company will not be required to make distributions with respect to income derived from the activities conducted through subsidiaries that the Company elects to treat as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that the Company undertakes must be conducted by a TRS, such as performing non-customary services for its customers, facilitating sales by PROs of tenant insurance and holding assets that the Company is not permitted to hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. On June 25, 2014, the Company formed NSA TRS, LLC ("NSA TRS"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company has elected to treat NSA TRS as a TRS, and consequently, NSA TRS is subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to the extent of any differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. No material deferred tax assets and liabilities were recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Future amounts of accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions will be recorded as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months. The Company's material taxing jurisdiction is the U.S. federal jurisdiction; the 2020 tax year is the earliest period that remains open to examination by these taxing jurisdictions. Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("common shares"), outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by further adjusting for the dilutive impact using the treasury stock method for any share options and unvested share equivalents outstanding during the period and the if-converted method for any convertible securities outstanding during the period. As more fully described below under " –Allocation of Net Income (Loss)" , the Company allocates GAAP income (loss) utilizing the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method, which could result in net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust during a period when the Company reports consolidated net loss (or net income), or net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust in excess of the Company's consolidated net income (or net loss). The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share may be materially affected by these disproportionate income (loss) allocations, resulting in volatile fluctuations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Equity-Based Awards The measurement and recognition of compensation cost for all equity-based awards granted to officers, trustees, employees and consultants is based on estimated fair values. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of each award with non-graded vesting. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. For awards granted for which vesting is subject to a performance condition, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period if and when the Company concludes it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The estimated fair value of all equity-based awards issued to PROs and their affiliates in connection with self storage property acquisitions is included in the cost of the respective acquisitions. The estimated fair value of such awards is measured at the date the self storage properties are acquired, as this date represents satisfaction of the performance condition and coincides with the award vesting. Derivative Financial Instruments The Company carries all derivative financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Fair value of derivatives is determined by reference to observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. The Company's use of derivative instruments has been limited to interest rate swap and cap agreements. The fair values of derivative instruments are included in other assets and interest rate swap liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gains and losses are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivatives is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The valuation of interest rate swap and cap agreements is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate forward curves. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. Fair Value Measurements When measuring fair value of financial instruments that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company uses a three-tier measurement hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used to calculate fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures The Company’s investments in its unconsolidated real estate ventures are recorded under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the Company’s investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures are stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings (losses) is recognized based on the Company’s ownership interest in the earnings (losses) of the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The Company follows the "nature of the distribution approach" for classification of distributions from its unconsolidated real estate ventures in its consolidated statements of cash flows. Under this approach, distributions are reported on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities that generated the distributions as either a return on investment, which are classified as operating cash flows, or a return of investment (e.g., proceeds from the unconsolidated real estate ventures' sale of assets) which are reported as investing cash flows. Segment Reporting The Company manages its business as one reportable segment consisting of investments in self storage properties located in the United States. Although the Company operates in several markets, these operations have been aggregated into one reportable segment based on the similar economic characteristics among all markets. Allocation of Net Income (Loss) The distribution rights and priorities set forth in the operating partnership's LP Agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership interests of the operating partnership's unitholders. Accordingly, the Company allocates GAAP income (loss) utilizing the HLBV method, in which the Company allocates income or loss based on the change in each unitholders’ claim on the net assets of its operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. The HLBV method is commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. The HLBV method is a balance sheet-focused approach to income (loss) allocation. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that unitholders would receive if the operating partnership were to liquidate all of its assets (at GAAP net book value) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and unitholders based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive each unitholder's share of the income (loss) for the period. Due to the stated liquidation priorities and because the HLBV method incorporates non-cash items such as depreciation expense, in any given period, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately to unitholders as compared to their respective ownership percentage in the operating partnership, and net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust could be more or less net income than actual cash distributions received and more or less income or loss than what may be received in the event of an actual liquidation. Additionally, the HLBV method could result in net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust during a period when the Company reports consolidated net loss (or net income), or net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust in excess of the Company's consolidated net income (or net loss). The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share may be materially affected by these disproportionate income (loss) allocations, resulting in volatile fluctuations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) The Company has cash flow hedge derivative instruments that are measured at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) with a corresponding adjustment to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity, as discussed further in Note 14. Under the HLBV method of allocating income (loss) discussed above, a calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date by applying the HLBV method including, and excluding, the assets and liabilities resulting from the Company's cash flow hedge derivative instruments to determine comprehensive income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. As a result of the distribution rights and priorities set forth in the operating partnership's LP Agreement, in any given period, other comprehensive income (loss) may be allocated disproportionately to unitholders as compared to their respective ownership percentage in the operating partnership and as compared to their respective allocation of net income (loss). Gain on sale of self storage properties The Company recognizes gains from disposition of properties only upon closing in accordance with the guidance on sales of nonfinancial assets. Profit on real estate sold is recognized upon closing when all, or substantially all, of the promised consideration has been received and is nonrefundable and the Company has transferred control of the facilities to the purchaser. Goodwill Goodwill represents the costs of business acquisitions in excess of the fair value of identifiable net assets acquired. The Company evaluates goodwill for potential impairment annually, or whenever impairment indicators are present. The Company determined that there was no impairment to goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. Use of Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Reclassifications Certain amounts in the consolidated financial statements and related notes have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Such reclassifications do not impact the Company's previously reported financial position or net income (loss). Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. Pursuant to this ASU, the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements will include incremental disclosures related to our single reportable segment, including the disclosures about our CODM’s review of our consolidated net operating income, the profit/loss measure of our single reportable segment and a reconciliation of consolidated net operating income to our consolidated net income. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement ("ASU 2023-05"). ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture, upon formation to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value in its standalone financial statements. A joint venture will recognize the difference between the fair value of its equity and the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities as goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) using the business combination accounting guidance regardless of whether the net assets meet the definition of a business. ASU 2023-05 will be applied prospectively and is effective for all joint ventures formed on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2023-05 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS | SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Shareholders' Equity Common Share Offering On July 23, 2021, the Company closed a follow-on public offering of 10,120,000 of its common shares, which included 1,320,000 common shares sold upon the exercise in full by the underwriters of their option to purchase additional common shares, at a public offering price of $51.25 per share. The Company received aggregate net proceeds from the offering of approximately $497.4 million after deducting the underwriting discount and additional expenses associated with the offering. Series A Preferred Shares The 6.000% cumulative redeemable preferred shares of beneficial interest ("Series A Preferred Shares") rank senior to the Company's common shares with respect to rights and rights upon its liquidation, dissolution or winding up. Dividends on the Series A Preferred Shares, which are payable quarterly in arrears, are cumulative from the date of original issuance in the amount of $1.50 per share each year. The Series A Preferred Shares became redeemable by the Company in October 2022 for a cash redemption price of $25.00 per share, plus accrued but unpaid dividends. Series B Preferred Shares On March 15, 2023, the Company classified 7,000,000 of the Company's authorized but unissued preferred shares of beneficial interest as 6.000% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares ("Series B Preferred Shares"). The Series B Preferred Shares rank senior to the Company’s common shares of beneficial interest, and on parity with the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares and any future equity shares that the Company may later authorize or issue and that by their terms are on parity with the Series B Preferred Shares, and junior to any other class of the Company’s shares expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Shares. The Series B Preferred Shares have a per share liquidation preference of $25.00 per share and receive distributions at an annual rate of 6.000%. These distributions are payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on June 30, 2023. The first dividend was a pro rata dividend from and including March 16, 2023, to and including June 30, 2023. Generally, Series B Preferred Shares are not redeemable by the Company prior to September 15, 2043. On March 16, 2023, the Company issued 5,668,128 Series B Preferred Shares for approximately $139.6 million, to shareholders of an affiliate of Personal Mini, in connection with the acquisition of a portfolio of 15 properties. As part of the acquisition transaction, the Company recorded a $26.1 million promissory note receivable from an affiliate of Personal Mini. Proceeds from the promissory note were used by the affiliate of Personal Mini to acquire $26.1 million of subordinated performance units. The promissory note bears interest at a rate equivalent to the dividends paid on 1,059,683 of the Series B Preferred Shares. As a result of these agreements, in accordance with GAAP, the $26.1 million promissory note receivable, interest income on the note receivable, $26.1 million of Series B Preferred Shares value, and dividends on such Series B Preferred Shares have been offset in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, statements of operations, and statements of changes in equity, resulting in a net amount presented as proceeds from the issuance of Series B Preferred Shares of $113.1 million. At the Market ("ATM") Program On February 27, 2019, the Company entered into a sales agreement with certain sales agents, pursuant to which the Company may sell from time to time up to $250.0 million of the Company's common shares and 6.000% Series A Preferred Shares in sales deemed to be "at the market" offerings (the "sales agreement"). On May 19, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the sales agreement with certain sales agents, whereby the Company increased the aggregate gross sale price under the program to $400.0 million, which included $31.0 million of remaining available offered shares. The sales agreement contemplates that, in addition to the issuance and sale by the Company of offered shares to or through the sale agents, the Company may enter into separate forward sale agreements with any forward purchaser. Forward sale agreements, if any, will include only the Company's common shares and will not include any Series A Preferred Shares. If the Company enters into a forward sale agreement with any forward purchaser, such forward purchaser will attempt to borrow from third parties and sell, through the related agent, acting as sales agent for such forward purchaser (each, a "forward seller"), offered shares, in an amount equal to the offered shares subject to such forward sale agreement, to hedge such forward purchaser’s exposure under such forward sale agreement. The Company may offer the common shares and Series A Preferred Shares through the agents, as the Company's sales agents, or, as applicable, as forward seller, or directly to the agents or forward sellers, acting as principals, by means of, among others, ordinary brokers’ transactions on the NYSE or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale or at negotiated prices. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company did not sell any common shares through the ATM program. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had $169.1 million capacity remaining under its ATM Program. Common Share Repurchase Program On July 11, 2022, the Company approved a share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $400.0 million of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest from time to time. On December 1, 2023, the Company approved a new share repurchase program authorizing, but not obligating, the repurchase of up to $275.0 million of the Company's common shares from time to time. The timing, manner, price and amount of any repurchase transactions will be determined by the Company in its discretion and will be subject to share price, availability, trading volume and general market conditions. During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repurchased 8,836,639 common shares for approximately $310.2 million. Noncontrolling Interests All of the OP equity in the Company's operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than the Company's operating partnership. NSA is the general partner of its operating partnership and is authorized to cause its operating partnership to issue additional partner interests, including OP units and subordinated performance units, at such prices and on such other terms as it determines in its sole discretion. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, units reflecting noncontrolling interests consisted of the following: December 31, 2023 2022 Series A-1 preferred units 1,212,340 712,208 OP units 37,635,683 35,737,281 Subordinated performance units 7,991,271 8,154,524 LTIP units 785,932 728,890 DownREIT units DownREIT OP units 2,120,491 1,924,918 DownREIT subordinated performance units 4,133,474 4,337,111 Total 53,879,191 51,594,932 Series A-1 Preferred Units The 6.000% Series A-1 Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units ("Series A-1 preferred units") rank senior to OP units and subordinated performance units in the Company's operating partnership with respect to distributions and liquidation. The Series A-1 preferred units have a stated value of $25.00 per unit and receive distributions at an annual rate of 6.000%. These distributions are cumulative. The Series A-1 preferred units are redeemable at the option of the holder after the first anniversary of the date of issuance, which redemption obligations may be satisfied at the Company’s option in cash in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of the Company's 6.000% Series A Preferred Shares or the issuance of 6.000% Series A Preferred Shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustments. Generally, the Series A-1 preferred units become redeemable by the Company beginning ten years after the initial issuance of each Series A-1 preferred unit at a stated value of $25.00 per unit, plus accrued but unpaid distributions. The increase in Series A-1 preferred units outstanding from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to (i) 466,691 Series A-1 preferred units issued in connection with the acquisitions of self storage properties and (ii) the issuance of 33,441 Series A-1 preferred units in connection with the termination of a lease and the contribution of the development rights for vacant land owned by the Company at one of the Company’s self storage properties. OP Units and DownREIT OP units OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis, and DownREIT OP units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for OP units in its operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. The holders of OP units are generally not entitled to elect redemption until one year after the issuance of the OP units. The holders of DownREIT OP units are generally not entitled to elect redemption until five years after the date of the contributor's initial contribution. The increase in OP units outstanding from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to (i) 2,545,063 OP units issued upon the non-voluntary conversion of 926,623 subordinated performance units (as discussed further below) in connection with Move It's retirement, (ii) 481,811 OP units issued upon the voluntary conversion of 397,000 subordinated performance units, (iii) the conversion of 128,487 LTIP units into an equivalent number of OP units, partially offset by the redemption of 1,275,854 OP units for an equal number of common shares and (iv) the issuance of 18,895 OP units in connection with the acquisition of self storage properties. The increase in DownREIT OP units outstanding from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to 195,573 DownREIT OP units issued upon the voluntary conversion of 203,637 DownREIT subordinated performance units. Subordinated Performance Units and DownREIT Subordinated Performance Units Subordinated performance units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units which are exchangeable for common shares as described above, and DownREIT subordinated performance units may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for subordinated performance units on a one-for-one basis. Subordinated performance units are only convertible into OP units after a two year lock-out period and then generally (i) at the holder’s election only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to the properties to which such subordinated performance units relate or (ii) at the Company's election upon a retirement event of a PRO that holds such subordinated performance units or upon certain qualifying terminations. The holders of DownREIT subordinated performance units are generally not entitled to elect redemption until at least five years after the date of the contributor's initial contribution. Following such lock-out period, a holder of subordinated performance units in the Company's operating partnership may elect a voluntary conversion one time each year on or prior to December 1st to convert a pre-determined portion of such subordinated performance units into OP units in the Company's operating partnership, with such conversion effective January 1st of the following year, with each subordinated performance unit being converted into the number of OP units determined by dividing the average cash available for distribution, or CAD, per unit on the series of specific subordinated performance units over the one-year period prior to conversion by 110% of the CAD per unit on the OP units determined over the same period. CAD per unit on the series of specific subordinated performance units and OP units is determined by the Company based generally upon the application of the provisions of the LP Agreement applicable to the distributions of operating cash flow and capital transactions proceeds. The decrease in subordinated performance units outstanding from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to the conversion of 926,623 subordinated performance units into 2,545,063 OP units in connection with the retirement of Move It, and the voluntary conversion of 397,000 subordinated performance units into 481,811 OP units, partially offset by the issuance of 1,160,370 subordinated performance units for co-investment by the Company's PROs in connection with the acquisition of self storage properties. The decrease in DownREIT subordinated performance units outstanding from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2023 was due to the voluntary conversion of 203,637 DownREIT subordinated performance units into 195,573 DownREIT OP units. LTIP Units LTIP units are a special class of partnership interest in the Company's operating partnership that allow the holder to participate in the ordinary and liquidating distributions received by holders of the OP units (subject to the achievement of specified levels of profitability by the Company's operating partnership or the achievement of certain events). LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units on a one-for-one basis, which are then exchangeable for common shares as described above. LTIP units do not have full parity with OP units with respect to liquidating distributions and may not receive ordinary distributions until such parity is reached pursuant to the terms of the LP Agreement. If such parity is reached under the LP Agreement, upon vesting, vested LTIP units may be converted into an equal number of OP units, and thereafter have all the rights of OP units, including redemption rights. See Note 9 for additional information about the Company's LTIP Units. |

EQUITY-BASED AWARDS | EQUITY-BASED AWARDS The Company grants awards in the form of LTIP units and restricted common shares to provide equity based incentive compensation to members of its senior management team, independent trustees, advisers, consultants, other personnel, and as consideration for self storage property acquisitions. LTIP units were first granted under the 2013 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "2013 Plan"), which authorized up to 2.5 million LTIP units for issuance. In connection with the Company's initial public offering, the Company terminated the 2013 Plan but the awards granted thereunder remained outstanding after its termination. Restricted common shares were first granted under the 2015 National Storage Affiliates Trust Equity Incentive Plan (the "2015 Plan"), which authorizes the Company's compensation, nominating, and corporate governance committee to grant share options, restricted common shares, phantom shares, dividend equivalent rights, LTIP units and other restricted limited partnership units issued by its operating partnership and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 5% of the common shares issued and outstanding from time to time on a fully diluted basis (assuming, if applicable, the exercise of all outstanding options and the conversion of all warrants and convertible securities, including OP units and LTIP units, into common shares). As of December 31, 2023, the Company did not have outstanding under its equity compensation plan, any options, warrants or rights to purchase the Company's common shares. LTIP Units Through December 31, 2023, an aggregate of 2,474,710 LTIP units have been issued under the 2013 Plan, 1,624,137 LTIP units have been issued under the 2015 Plan, and 373,353 LTIP units have been issued under the LP Agreement. Some of the granted LTIP units vested immediately or upon completion of the Company's initial public offering. Others vest upon the contribution of self storage properties or along a schedule at certain times through June 10, 2027.

At December 31, 2023, total unvested compensation cost not yet recognized was $6.7 million. The Company expects to recognize this compensation cost over a period of approximately 3.4 years. If the grantee has a termination of service for any reason during the vesting period, the unvested LTIP units will be forfeited subject to certain limited exceptions. Time-based LTIP unit awards are granted with a fair value equal to the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. The following table summarizes activity for the time-based LTIP unit awards for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: Time-Based LTIP Unit Awards 2023 2022 2021 Number of LTIP units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Number of LTIP units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Number of LTIP units Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding unvested at beginning of year 132,414 $ 48.35 158,976 $ 36.95 170,265 $ 28.93 Granted 129,933 39.55 71,673 58.42 98,376 41.02 Vested (84,548) 45.39 (92,073) 36.58 (105,561) 27.61 Forfeited — — (6,162) 47.34 (4,104) 41.84 Unvested at end of year 177,799 $ 41.07 132,414 $ 48.35 158,976 $ 36.95 The aggregate fair value of the time-based LTIP unit awards that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $3.8 million, $3.4 million and $2.9 million, respectively. The following table summarizes activity for the performance-based LTIP unit awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, including the minimum, target and maximum number of LTIP units that may be earned upon the achievement of the performance criteria measured over the period of three years from the grant date.

The fair value of the performance-based LTIP unit awards, which have a market condition, is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation requires assumptions for expected volatility, risk-free rate of return, and dividend yield. The following table summarizes the assumptions used to value the performance-based LTIP unit awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: 2023 2022 2021 Risk-free interest rate 4.22 % 1.55 % 0.18 % Dividend yield 6.09 % 3.47 % 3.89 % Expected volatility 35.39 % 30.96 % 34.17 % Acquisition Consideration Grants On December 31, 2013, the Company granted 1,683,560 LTIP units under the 2013 Plan and on January 23, 2020 the Company granted 28,894 LTIP units under the LP Agreement as part of the consideration for self storage property acquisitions and contributions. The following table summarizes activity for acquisition grants during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: Total LTIP units Total unvested units, December 31, 2020 252,894 Units vested in 2021 — Units forfeited in 2021 — Total unvested units, December 31, 2021 252,894 Units vested in 2022 — Units forfeited in 2022 — Total unvested units, December 31, 2022 252,894 Units vested in 2023 related to properties contributed or sourced by PROs (15,600) Units forfeited in 2023 (28,894) Total unvested units, December 31, 2023 208,400 The aggregate fair value of purchase consideration recognized during the year ended December 31, 2023 was $0.5 million. As of December 31, 2023, the remaining unvested LTIP units will vest as additional self storage properties are contributed or sourced. The fair value of such LTIP units will be recorded as additional acquisition consideration based on the fair value in the period such acquisitions are completed. Restricted Common Shares Through December 31, 2023, an aggregate of 146,724 restricted common shares have been issued under the 2015 Plan. These restricted common shares vest over a period of approximately 3.4 years. Restricted common shares are granted with a fair value equal to the closing market price of the Company's common shares on the date of grant. The following table summarizes activity for restricted common shares for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021: Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Number of Restricted Common Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Number of Restricted Common Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Number of Restricted Common Shares Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value Outstanding at beginning of year 25,435 $ 48.90 30,659 $ 40.41 29,929 $ 32.68 Granted 12,856 42.46 10,405 57.97 29,248 43.80 Vested (12,011) 45.44 (10,208) 34.83 (12,763) 31.14 Forfeited (4,878) 47.41 (5,421) 45.21 (15,755) 39.52 Unvested at end of year 21,402 $ 46.65 25,435 $ 48.90 30,659 $ 40.41 The aggregate fair value of restricted common shares that vested during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million respectively. Total compensation cost recognized for restricted common shares during the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 was $0.4 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. At December 31, 2023, total unvested compensation cost not yet recognized was $0.6 million. The Company expects to recognize this compensation cost over a period of approximately 3.4 years. If the grantee has a termination of service for any reason during the vesting period, the unvested restricted common shares will be forfeited. Compensation expense related to restricted common shares is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |

EARNINGS PER SHARE | EARNINGS PER SHARE The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts): Year Ended December 31, 2023 2022 2021 Earnings per common share - basic and diluted Numerator Net income $ 236,988 $ 183,765 $ 146,935 Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests (80,319) (80,028) (41,682) Net income attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust 156,669 103,737 105,253 Distributions to preferred shareholders (19,019) (13,425) (13,104) Distributed and undistributed earnings allocated to participating securities (57) (58) (57) Net income attributable to common shareholders - basic 137,593 90,254 92,092 Effect of assumed conversion of dilutive securities 78,196 — 40,231 Net income attributable to common shareholders - diluted $ 215,789 $ 90,254 $ 132,323 Denominator Weighted average shares outstanding - basic 86,846 91,239 81,195 Effect of dilutive securities: Weighted average effect of outstanding forward offering agreement — — 100 Weighted average OP units outstanding 38,302 — 30,124 Weighted average DownREIT OP unit equivalents outstanding 2,120 — 1,925 Weighted average LTIP units outstanding 60 — 96 Weighted average subordinated performance units and DownREIT subordinated performance unit equivalents 18,695 — 21,098 Weighted average shares outstanding - diluted 146,023 91,239 134,538 Earnings per share - basic $ 1.58 $ 0.99 $ 1.13 Earnings per share - diluted $ 1.48 $ 0.99 $ 0.98 Dividends declared per common share $ 2.23 $ 2.15 $ 1.59 As discussed in Note 2, the Company allocates GAAP income utilizing the HLBV method, in which the Company allocates income or loss based on the change in each unitholders' claim on the net assets of its operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. Due to the stated liquidation priorities and because the HLBV method incorporates non-cash items such as depreciation expense, in any given period, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately to National Storage Affiliates Trust and noncontrolling interests, resulting in volatile fluctuations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. Outstanding equity interests of the Company's operating partnership and DownREIT partnerships are considered potential common shares for purposes of calculating diluted earnings (loss) per share as the unitholders may, through the exercise of redemption rights, obtain common shares, subject to various restrictions. Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by further adjusting for the dilutive impact using the treasury stock method for unvested LTIP units subject to a service condition outstanding during the period and the if-converted method for any convertible securities outstanding during the period. Generally, following certain lock-out periods, OP units in the Company's operating partnership are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for common shares on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments and DownREIT OP units are redeemable for cash or, at the Company's option, exchangeable for OP units in its operating partnership on a one-for-one basis, subject to certain adjustments in each case. LTIP units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units on a one-for-one basis, which are then exchangeable for common shares as described above. Vested LTIP units and unvested LTIP units that vest based on a service condition are allocated income or loss in a similar manner as OP units. Unvested LTIP units subject to a service or market condition are evaluated for dilution using the treasury stock method. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 505,392 unvested LTIP units that vest based on a service or market condition are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they are not dilutive to earnings per share. For the year ended December 31, 2023, 208,400 unvested LTIP units that vest upon the future acquisition of properties are excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the contingency for the units to vest has not been attained as of the end of the reported period. Subordinated performance units may also, under certain circumstances, be convertible into OP units which are exchangeable for common shares as described above, and DownREIT subordinated performance units may, under certain circumstances, be exchangeable for subordinated performance units on a one-for-one basis. Subordinated performance units are only convertible into OP units, after a two year lock-out period and then generally (i) at the holder’s election only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to the properties to which such subordinated performance units relate or (ii) at the Company's election upon a retirement event of a PRO that holds such subordinated performance units or upon certain qualifying terminations. Although subordinated performance units may only be convertible after a two year lock-out period, the Company assumes a hypothetical conversion of each subordinated performance unit (including each DownREIT subordinated performance unit) into OP units (with subsequently assumed redemption into common shares) for the purposes of calculating diluted weighted average common shares. This hypothetical conversion is calculated using historical financial information, and as a result, is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations, cash flows or financial position of the Company upon expiration of the two-year lock out period on conversions. For the year ended December 31, 2022, potential common shares totaling 58.7 million related to OP units, DownREIT OP units, subordinated performance units, DownREIT subordinated performance units and vested LTIP units have been excluded from the calculation of diluted earnings per share as they are not dilutive to earnings per share. Participating securities, which consist of unvested restricted common shares, receive dividends equal to those received by common shares. The effect of participating securities for the periods presented above is calculated using the two-class method of allocating distributed and undistributed earnings. |

Leases [Abstract] | |
LEASES | LEASES The Company determines if a contractual arrangement is a lease at inception. As a lessee, the Company has non-cancelable lease agreements for real estate and its corporate office space that are classified as operating leases. The Company's operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use ("ROU") assets and operating lease liabilities in its consolidated balance sheets. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As the Company's operating leases do not provide an implicit rate, and such rate is not readily determinable, the Company used its incremental borrowing rate based on the information available at commencement date in determining the discount rate for the present value of the lease payments. To the extent that the lease agreements provide for fixed increases throughout the term of the lease, the Company recognizes lease expense on a straight-line basis over the expected lease terms. Real Estate Leasehold Interests The Company has seven properties that are subject to non-cancelable leasehold interest agreements with remaining lease terms ranging from 11 to 51 years, inclusive of extension options that the Company anticipates exercising. Rent expense under these leasehold interest agreements is included in property operating expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to $1.6 million, $1.6 million and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Office Leases The Company has entered into non-cancelable lease agreements for its corporate office space with remaining lease terms ranging from 3 to 5 years. Rent expense related to these office leases is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to $0.4 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Solar Panel Leases During year ended December 31, 2022, the Company entered into non-cancelable lease agreements for solar panels with remaining lease terms of 20 years. Rent expense related to these solar panel leases is included in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and amounted to $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. The weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate for the Company's operating leases as of December 31, 2023 are as follows: December 31, 2023 Weighted-average remaining lease term Real estate leasehold interests 24 years Office leases 4 years Solar Panels 19 years Weighted-average remaining discount rate Real estate leasehold interests 4.8 % Office leases 3.8 % Solar Panels 4.3 % As of December 31, 2023, the future minimum lease payments under the Company's operating leases, for which the Company is a lessee, are as follows (dollars in thousands): Year Ending December 31, Real Estate Leasehold Interests Office Leases Solar Panels Total 2024 $ 1,442 $ 450 $ 150 $ 2,042 2025 1,493 456 154 2,103 2026 1,520 429 165 2,114 2027 1,536 97 165 1,798 2028 1,542 97 170 1,809 2029 through 2092 26,613 — 3,008 29,621 Total lease payments $ 34,146 $ 1,529 $ 3,812 $ 39,487 Less imputed interest (13,914) (98) (1,280) (15,292) Total $ 20,232 $ 1,431 $ 2,532 $ 24,195 |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Recurring Fair Value Measurements The Company sometimes limits its exposure to interest rate fluctuations by entering into interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements moderate the Company's exposure to interest rate risk by effectively converting the interest on variable rate debt to a fixed rate. The Company measures its interest rate swap derivatives at fair value on a recurring basis. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly into earnings. Information regarding the Company's interest rate swaps measured at fair value, which are classified within Level 2 of the GAAP fair value hierarchy, is presented below (dollars in thousands): Interest Rate Swaps Designated as Cash Flow Hedges Fair value at December 31, 2021 $ (33,757) Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness included in accumulated other comprehensive income 7 Losses on interest rate swaps reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income 2,315 Unrealized gains on interest rate swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive income 82,418 Fair value at December 31, 2022 $ 50,983 Fair value at December 31, 2022 $ 50,983 (Gains) and losses on interest rate swaps reclassified into interest expense from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) (35,716) Unrealized gains and realized (losses) on interest rate swaps and forward starting swaps included in accumulated other comprehensive income 10,893 Fair value at December 31, 2023 $ 26,160 As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had outstanding interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges with aggregate notional amounts of $1,335.0 million and $1,410.0 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's swaps had a weighted average remaining term of 2.9 years. In connection with the issuance of fixed rate unsecured notes in the second quarter of 2023, we entered into $50.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps on March 16, 2023, and a $25.0 million forward starting interest rate swap on March 24, 2023, locking the interest rate of compounded SOFR at 3.25% through April 5, 2023. These interest rate swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges. The realized loss of $1.6 million of the compounded SOFR swaps are included in unrealized and realized gains (loss) on derivative instruments in comprehensive income (loss) and will be reclassified into interest expense over 10 years, which is the term of anticipated unsecured fixed rate debt including any replacement debt thereof. Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income will be reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the anticipated debt. The fair value of these swaps are included in other assets and interest rate swap liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the Company recognizes any changes in the fair value as an adjustment of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) within equity to the extent of their effectiveness. If the forward rates at December 31, 2023 remain constant, the Company estimates that during the next 12 months, the Company would reclassify into earnings, as a reduction in interest expense, approximately $25.2 million of the unrealized gains included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). If market interest rates remain above the 2.56% weighted average fixed rate under these interest rate swaps the Company will continue to benefit from net cash payments due to it from its counterparties to the interest rate swaps. There were no transfers between levels during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. For financial assets and liabilities that utilize Level 2 inputs, the Company utilizes both direct and indirect observable price quotes, including applicable yield curves. The Company uses valuation techniques for Level 2 financial assets and liabilities which include applicable yield curves at the reporting date as well as assessing counterparty credit risk. Counterparties to these contracts are highly rated financial institutions. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with the Company's derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and the counterparties. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company determined that the effect of credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. Therefore, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations are appropriately classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Fair Value Disclosures The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, trade receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022, approximate fair value due to the short term nature of these financial assets and liabilities. The carrying value of variable rate debt financing, comprising the Revolver, term loans under our credit facility and our term loan facilities, reflected in the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2023 and 2022, approximates fair value as the changes in their associated interest rates reflect the current market and credit risk is similar to when the loans were originally obtained. The fair values of fixed rate private placement notes and mortgages were estimated using the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt; the discount rates used approximated current market rates for loans, or groups of loans, with similar maturities and credit quality (categorized within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy). The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of our fixed rate private placement notes and mortgages (dollars in thousands): Carrying Value (1) Fair Value December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Liabilities Private Placement Notes $ 1,600,000 $ 1,230,000 $ 1,417,147 $ 1,014,153 Mortgage Notes 222,757 299,570 211,480 282,758 (1) Carrying value represents the principal balance outstanding |

Subsequent Events [Abstract] | |
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS | SUBSEQUENT EVENTS Disposition of Self Storage Properties On February 1, 2024, the Company sold 38 self storage properties as part of the agreement entered into in November of 2023 to sell 71 wholly-owned self storage properties consisting of approximately 4.4 million rentable square feet configured in approximately 34,000 storage units for approximately $530.0 million. The agreement provided for separate disposition dates with 32 self storage properties sold during 2023, 38 self storage properties sold in February 2024 and one to be sold in 2024 . On February 13, 2024, pursuant to a contribution agreement executed on December 21, 2023, the Company contributed to the 2024 Joint Venture (as described in more detail in Note 5), 56 self storage properties located across seven states, consisting of approximately 3.2 million rentable square feet configured in over 24,000 storage units for approximately $346.5 million . Additionally, the Company used the proceeds to pay off the remaining balance on the Revolver and $130 million of Term Loan B. Subordinated Performance Unit To OP Unit Conversions Subordinated performance units are convertible into OP units after a two year lock-out period and then generally (i) at the holder’s election only upon the achievement of certain performance thresholds relating to the properties to which such subordinated performance units relate (a "voluntary conversion") or (ii) at the Company's election upon a retirement event of a PRO that holds such subordinated performance units or upon certain qualifying terminations. Following such lock-out period, a holder of subordinated performance units in the Company's operating partnership may elect a voluntary conversion one time each year prior to December 1st to convert a pre-determined portion of such subordinated performance units into OP units in the Company's operating partnership, with such conversion effective January 1st of the following year with each subordinated performance unit being converted into the number of OP units determined by dividing the average cash available for distribution, or CAD, per unit on the series of specific subordinated performance units over the one-year period prior to conversion by 110% of the CAD per unit on the OP units determined over the same period. CAD per unit on the series of specific subordinated performance units and OP units is determined by the Company based generally upon the application of the provisions of the operating partnership agreement applicable to the distributions of operating cash flow and capital transactions proceeds. |

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUN_2
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (Policies) | 12 Months Ended |
Dec. 31, 2023 | |
Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of Presentation | Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements are presented on the accrual basis of accounting in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). |
Principles of Consolidation and Noncontrolling Interests | Principles of Consolidation The Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of its operating partnership and its controlled subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. When the Company obtains an economic interest in an entity, the Company evaluates the entity to determine if the entity is deemed a variable interest entity ("VIE"), and if the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary, in accordance with authoritative guidance issued on the consolidation of VIEs. When an entity is not deemed to be a VIE, the Company considers the provisions of additional guidance to determine whether the general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity when the limited partners have certain rights. The Company consolidates all entities that are VIEs and of which the Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The Company has determined that its operating partnership is a VIE. The sole significant asset of National Storage Affiliates Trust is its investment in its operating partnership, and consequently, substantially all of the Company's assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of its operating partnership. As of December 31, 2023, the Company's operating partnership was the primary beneficiary of, and therefore consolidated, 22 DownREIT partnerships that are considered VIEs, which owned 49 self storage properties. The net book value of the real estate owned by these VIEs was $418.9 million and $412.9 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. For certain DownREIT partnerships which are subject to fixed rate mortgages payable, the carrying value of such fixed rate mortgages payable held by these VIEs was $188.7 million and $188.7 million as of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. The creditors of the consolidated VIEs do not have recourse to the Company's general credit. Noncontrolling Interests All of the limited partner equity interests ("OP equity") in its operating partnership not held by the Company are reflected as noncontrolling interests. Noncontrolling interests also include ownership interests in DownREIT partnerships held by entities other than the Company's operating partnership. In the consolidated statements of operations, the Company allocates net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust. For transactions that result in changes to the Company's ownership interest in its operating partnership, the carrying amount of noncontrolling interests is adjusted to reflect such changes. The difference between the fair value of the consideration received or paid and the amount by which the noncontrolling interests is adjusted is reflected as an adjustment to additional paid-in capital on the consolidated balance sheets. |
Self Storage Properties | Self Storage Properties Self storage properties are carried at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and any impairment losses. Major replacements and betterments, which improve or extend the life of an asset, are capitalized. Expenditures for ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred and are included in property operating expenses. Estimated depreciable lives of self storage properties are determined by considering the age and other indicators about the condition of the assets at the respective dates of acquisition, resulting in a range of estimated useful lives for assets within each category. All self storage property assets are depreciated using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated useful lives primarily between seven three When a self storage property is acquired, the purchase price of the acquired self storage property is allocated to land, buildings and improvements, furniture and equipment, customer in-place leases, assumed real estate leasehold interests, and other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, based on the estimated fair value of each component. When a portfolio of self storage properties is acquired, the purchase price is allocated to the individual self storage properties based on the fair value determined using an income approach with appropriate risk-adjusted capitalization rates, which take into account the relative size, age and location of the individual self storage properties. |
Cash and Cash Equivalents | Cash and Cash Equivalents The Company considers all highly-liquid investments purchased with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents. From time to time, the Company maintains cash balances in financial institutions in excess of federally insured limits. The Company has never experienced a loss that resulted from exceeding federally insured limits. |
Restricted Cash | Restricted Cash The Company's restricted cash consists of escrowed funds deposited with financial institutions resulting from property sales for which we elected to purchase replacement property in accordance with Section 1031 of the Code, for real estate taxes, insurance and other reserves for capital improvements in accordance with the Company's loan agreements. |
Customer In-place Leases | Customer In-place Leases In allocating the purchase price for a self storage property acquisition, the Company determines whether the acquisition includes intangible assets. The Company allocates a portion of the purchase price to an intangible asset attributed to the value of customer in-place leases. This intangible asset is amortized to expense using the straight-line method over 12 months, the estimated average rental period for the leases. Substantially all of the leases in place at acquired properties are at market rates, as the leases are month-to-month contracts. |

Long Lived Assets Held for Sale | Long Lived Assets Held for Sale The Company considers long-lived assets to be “held for sale” upon satisfaction of the following criteria: (a) management commits to a plan to sell an asset (or group of assets), (b) the asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition subject only to terms that are usual and customary for sales of such assets, (c) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell the asset have been initiated, (d) the sale of the asset is probable and transfer of the asset is expected to be completed within one year, (e) the asset is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value and (f) actions required to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. |
Costs of Raising Capital | Costs of Raising Capital |
Debt Issuance Costs | Debt issuance costs are amortized over the estimated life of the related debt using the straight-line method, which approximates the effective interest rate method. Amortization of debt issuance costs is included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. |
Rental Revenue | Rental revenue |
Other Property-related Revenue and Management Fees and Other Revenue | Other property-related revenue Other property-related revenue primarily consists of ancillary revenues such as tenant insurance and/or tenant warranty protection-related access fees and sales of storage supplies which are recognized in the period earned. The Company and certain of the Company’s PROs have tenant insurance- and/or tenant warranty protection plan-related arrangements with insurance companies and the Company’s tenants. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $24.1 million, $19.8 million and $15.0 million, respectively, of tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection plan revenues. The Company sells boxes, packing supplies, locks and other retail merchandise at its properties. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized retail sales of $2.3 million, $2.6 million and $2.3 million, respectively. Management fees and other revenue Management fees and other revenue consist of property management fees, platform fees, call center fees, acquisition fees, and a portion of tenant warranty protection or tenant insurance proceeds that the Company earns for managing and operating its unconsolidated real estate ventures. With respect to both the 2018 Joint Venture and the 2016 Joint Venture, the Company provides supervisory and administrative property management services, centralized call center services, and technology platform and revenue management services to the properties in the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The property management fees are equal to 6% of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues from the assets of the unconsolidated real estate ventures, and the platform fees are equal to $1,250 per month per unconsolidated real estate venture property. With respect to the 2016 Joint Venture only, the call center fees are equal to 1% of each of monthly gross revenues and net sales revenues from the 2016 Joint Venture properties. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized property management fees, call center fees and platform fees of $16.8 million, $16.5 million and $14.8 million, respectively. The Company also earns acquisition fees for properties acquired by the unconsolidated real estate ventures subsequent to the Initial 2016 JV Portfolio and the Initial 2018 JV Portfolio. These fees are based on a percentage of the gross capitalization of the acquired assets determined by the members of the 2016 Joint Venture and the 2018 Joint Venture, and are generally earned when the unconsolidated real estate ventures obtain title and control of an acquired property. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized acquisition fees of $0, $1.2 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The Company provides or makes available tenant insurance or tenant warranty protection programs for tenants at its properties. For certain of the properties in the Company’s consolidated portfolio and unconsolidated real estate ventures, the Company provides such tenant insurance through the Company’s wholly-owned captive insurance company and a separate reinsurance company in which the Company has a partial ownership interest. With respect to properties in both of the Company’s unconsolidated real estate ventures, the Company receives 50% of all proceeds from tenant insurance and tenant warranty protection programs at each unconsolidated real estate venture property in exchange for facilitating the programs at those properties. During the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Company recognized $17.2 million, $9.5 million and $7.3 million, respectively, of revenue related to these activities. |
Advertising Costs | Advertising Costs |
Acquisition Costs | Acquisition Costs The Company incurs title, legal and consulting fees, and other costs associated with the completion of acquisitions. The Company's self storage property acquisitions are accounted for as asset acquisitions, and accordingly, acquisition costs directly related to the self storage property acquisitions were capitalized as part of the basis of the acquired properties. Indirect acquisition costs remain included in acquisition costs in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations in the period in which they were incurred. |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes The Company has elected and believes it has qualified to be taxed as a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2015. To qualify as a REIT, among other things, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its shareholders and meet certain tests regarding the nature of its income and assets. As a REIT, the Company is not subject to federal income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its shareholders that it derives from its REIT qualifying activities. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and is unable to avail itself of certain provisions set forth in the Code, all of the Company's taxable income would be subject to federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates. The Company will not be required to make distributions with respect to income derived from the activities conducted through subsidiaries that the Company elects to treat as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS") for federal income tax purposes. Certain activities that the Company undertakes must be conducted by a TRS, such as performing non-customary services for its customers, facilitating sales by PROs of tenant insurance and holding assets that the Company is not permitted to hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. On June 25, 2014, the Company formed NSA TRS, LLC ("NSA TRS"), a Delaware limited liability company. The Company has elected to treat NSA TRS as a TRS, and consequently, NSA TRS is subject to U.S. federal and state corporate income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized to the extent of any differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities. No material deferred tax assets and liabilities were recorded as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The Company did not have any unrecognized tax benefits related to uncertain tax positions as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Future amounts of accrued interest and penalties, if any, related to uncertain tax positions will be recorded as a component of income tax expense. The Company does not expect that the amount of unrecognized tax benefits will change significantly in the next 12 months. |
Earnings per Share | Earnings per Share Basic earnings per share is calculated based on the weighted average number of the Company's common shares of beneficial interest, $0.01 par value per share ("common shares"), outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by further adjusting for the dilutive impact using the treasury stock method for any share options and unvested share equivalents outstanding during the period and the if-converted method for any convertible securities outstanding during the period. As more fully described below under " –Allocation of Net Income (Loss)" , the Company allocates GAAP income (loss) utilizing the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") method, which could result in net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust during a period when the Company reports consolidated net loss (or net income), or net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust in excess of the Company's consolidated net income (or net loss). The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share may be materially affected by these disproportionate income (loss) allocations, resulting in volatile fluctuations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. |
Equity-Based Awards | Equity-Based Awards The measurement and recognition of compensation cost for all equity-based awards granted to officers, trustees, employees and consultants is based on estimated fair values. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of each award with non-graded vesting. For awards granted which contain a graded vesting schedule and the only condition for vesting is a service condition, compensation cost is recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period as if the award was, in substance, a single award. For awards granted for which vesting is subject to a performance condition, compensation cost is recognized over the requisite service period if and when the Company concludes it is probable that the performance condition will be achieved. The estimated fair value of all equity-based awards issued to PROs and their affiliates in connection with self storage property acquisitions is included in the cost of the respective acquisitions. The estimated fair value of such awards is measured at the date the self storage properties are acquired, as this date represents satisfaction of the performance condition and coincides with the award vesting. |
Derivative Financial Instruments | Derivative Financial Instruments The Company carries all derivative financial instruments on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Fair value of derivatives is determined by reference to observable prices that are based on inputs not quoted on active markets, but corroborated by market data. The accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether the derivative has been designated and qualifies as part of a hedging relationship. The Company's use of derivative instruments has been limited to interest rate swap and cap agreements. The fair values of derivative instruments are included in other assets and interest rate swap liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. For derivative instruments not designated as cash flow hedges, the unrealized gains and losses are included in interest expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivatives is initially reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the Company's consolidated balance sheets and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings. The valuation of interest rate swap and cap agreements is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate forward curves. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risk, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements When measuring fair value of financial instruments that are required to be recorded or disclosed at fair value, the Company uses a three-tier measurement hierarchy which prioritizes the inputs used to calculate fair value. These tiers include Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. |
Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Venture | Investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Ventures The Company’s investments in its unconsolidated real estate ventures are recorded under the equity method of accounting in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. Under the equity method, the Company’s investments in unconsolidated real estate ventures are stated at cost and adjusted for the Company’s share of net earnings or losses and reduced by distributions. Equity in earnings (losses) is recognized based on the Company’s ownership interest in the earnings (losses) of the unconsolidated real estate ventures. The Company follows the "nature of the distribution approach" for classification of distributions from its unconsolidated real estate ventures in its consolidated statements of cash flows. Under this approach, distributions are reported on the basis of the nature of the activity or activities that generated the distributions as either a return on investment, which are classified as operating cash flows, or a return of investment (e.g., proceeds from the unconsolidated real estate ventures' sale of assets) which are reported as investing cash flows. |
Segment Reporting | Segment Reporting |
Allocation of Net Income (Loss) | Allocation of Net Income (Loss) The distribution rights and priorities set forth in the operating partnership's LP Agreement differ from what is reflected by the underlying percentage ownership interests of the operating partnership's unitholders. Accordingly, the Company allocates GAAP income (loss) utilizing the HLBV method, in which the Company allocates income or loss based on the change in each unitholders’ claim on the net assets of its operating partnership at period end after adjusting for any distributions or contributions made during such period. The HLBV method is commonly applied to equity investments where cash distribution percentages vary at different points in time and are not directly linked to an equity holder’s ownership percentage. The HLBV method is a balance sheet-focused approach to income (loss) allocation. A calculation is prepared at each balance sheet date to determine the amount that unitholders would receive if the operating partnership were to liquidate all of its assets (at GAAP net book value) and distribute the resulting proceeds to its creditors and unitholders based on the contractually defined liquidation priorities. The difference between the calculated liquidation distribution amounts at the beginning and the end of the reporting period, after adjusting for capital contributions and distributions, is used to derive each unitholder's share of the income (loss) for the period. Due to the stated liquidation priorities and because the HLBV method incorporates non-cash items such as depreciation expense, in any given period, income or loss may be allocated disproportionately to unitholders as compared to their respective ownership percentage in the operating partnership, and net income (loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust could be more or less net income than actual cash distributions received and more or less income or loss than what may be received in the event of an actual liquidation. Additionally, the HLBV method could result in net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust during a period when the Company reports consolidated net loss (or net income), or net income (or net loss) attributable to National Storage Affiliates Trust in excess of the Company's consolidated net income (or net loss). The computations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share may be materially affected by these disproportionate income (loss) allocations, resulting in volatile fluctuations of basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share. |

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements | Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2023-07, Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker ("CODM") and included within the segment measure of profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items to reconcile to segment profit or loss, and the title and position of the entity’s CODM. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. Pursuant to this ASU, the footnotes to our consolidated financial statements will include incremental disclosures related to our single reportable segment, including the disclosures about our CODM’s review of our consolidated net operating income, the profit/loss measure of our single reportable segment and a reconciliation of consolidated net operating income to our consolidated net income. In August 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-05, Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement ("ASU 2023-05"). ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture, upon formation to measure its assets and liabilities at fair value in its standalone financial statements. A joint venture will recognize the difference between the fair value of its equity and the fair value of its identifiable assets and liabilities as goodwill (or an equity adjustment, if negative) using the business combination accounting guidance regardless of whether the net assets meet the definition of a business. ASU 2023-05 will be applied prospectively and is effective for all joint ventures formed on or after January 1, 2025. The Company is currently evaluating ASU 2023-05 and does not expect it to have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements. |
