BASIS OF PRESENTATION
BASIS OF PRESENTATION	1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION Organization and Formation UDR, Inc. (“UDR,” the “Company,” “we,” or “our”) is a self-administered real estate investment trust, or REIT, that owns, operates, acquires, renovates, develops, redevelops, and manages apartment communities in targeted markets located in the United States. At June 30, 2022, our consolidated apartment portfolio consisted of 162 communities with a total of 54,314 apartment homes located in 21 markets. In addition, the Company has an ownership interest in 6,775 completed or to-be-completed apartment homes through unconsolidated joint ventures or partnerships, including 3,938 apartment homes owned by entities in which we hold preferred equity investments. Basis of Presentation The accompanying consolidated financial statements of UDR include its wholly-owned and/or controlled subsidiaries (see Note 4, Variable Interest Entities The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of UDR and its subsidiaries, including United Dominion Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) and UDR Lighthouse DownREIT L.P. (the “DownREIT Partnership”). As of June 30, 2022, there were 186.1 million units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) outstanding, of which 176.3 million OP Units (including 0.1 million of general partnership units), or 94.7%, were owned by UDR and 9.8 million OP Units, or 5.3%, were owned by outside limited partners. As of June 30, 2022, there were 32.4 million units in the DownREIT Partnership (“DownREIT Units”) outstanding, of which 20.8 million, or 64.2%, were owned by UDR and its subsidiaries and 11.6 million, or 35.8%, were owned by outside limited partners. The consolidated financial statements of UDR include the noncontrolling interests of the unitholders in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States have been condensed or omitted according to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In the opinion of management, all adjustments and eliminations necessary for the fair presentation of our financial position as of June 30, 2022, and results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, have been included. Such adjustments are normal and recurring in nature. The interim results presented are not necessarily indicative of results that can be expected for a full year. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes for the year ended December 31, 2021 appearing in UDR’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 15, 2022. The accompanying interim unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent liabilities at the dates of the interim unaudited consolidated financial statements and the amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual amounts realized or paid could differ from those estimates. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The Company evaluated subsequent events through the date its financial statements were issued. No significant recognized or non-recognized subsequent events were noted other than those noted in Note 5, Joint Ventures and Partnerships

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES	2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) ​ Principles of Consolidation The Company accounts for subsidiary partnerships, joint ventures and other similar entities in which it holds an ownership interest in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The Company first evaluates whether each entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an entity when it has control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, the Company consolidates an entity when it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest. Real Estate Sales Gain Recognition ​ For sale transactions resulting in a transfer of a controlling financial interest of a property, the Company generally derecognizes the related assets and liabilities from its Consolidated Balance Sheets and records the gain or loss in the period in which the transfer of control occurs. If control of the property has not transferred to the counterparty, the criteria for derecognition are not met and the Company will continue to recognize the related assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ Sale transactions to entities in which the Company sells a controlling financial interest in a property but retains a noncontrolling interest are accounted for as partial sales. Partial sales resulting in a change in control are accounted for at fair value and a full gain or loss is recognized. Therefore, the Company will record a gain or loss on the partial interest sold, and the initial measurement of our retained interest will be accounted for at fair value. ​ Sales of real estate to joint ventures or other noncontrolled investees are also accounted for at fair value and the Company will record a full gain or loss in the period the property is contributed. ​ To the extent that the Company acquires a controlling financial interest in a property that it previously accounted for as an equity method investment, the Company will not remeasure its previously held interest if the acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition. The Company will include the carrying amount of its previously held equity method interest along with the consideration paid and transaction costs incurred in determining the amounts to allocate to the related assets and liabilities acquired on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treated as an asset acquisition, the Company will not recognize a gain or loss on consolidation of a property. ​ Allowance for Credit Losses The Company accounts for allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for its financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other financial instruments, and presents the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The CECL impairment model excludes operating lease receivables. The CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, we analyze the following criteria, as applicable in developing allowances for credit losses: historical loss information, the borrower’s ability to make scheduled payments, the remaining time to maturity, the value of underlying collateral, projected future performance of the borrower and macroeconomic trends. ​ The Company measures credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. If the Company determines that a financial asset does not share risk characteristics with the Company’s other financial assets, the Company evaluates the financial asset for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Allowance for credit losses are recorded as a direct reduction from an asset’s amortized cost basis. Credit losses and recoveries are recorded in Interest income and other income/(expense), net ​ The Company has made the optional election provided by the standard not to measure allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables as the Company writes off any uncollectible accrued interest receivables in a timely manner. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accrued interest receivables. A write-off is recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of its accrued interest receivable balance is no longer collectible. ​ Notes Receivable Notes receivable relate to financing arrangements which are typically secured by assets of the borrower that may include real estate assets. Certain of the loans we extend may include characteristics such as options to purchase the project within a specific time window following expected project completion. These characteristics can cause the loans to fall under the definition of a VIE, and thus trigger consolidation consideration. We consider the facts and circumstances pertinent to each loan, including the relative amount of financing we are contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control we hold, and our rights to expected residual gains or our obligations to absorb expected residual losses from the project. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to holding a controlling financial interest, the majority of decision making control, or by other means, consolidation of the VIE would be required. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities of the existing loans. Additionally, we analyze each loan arrangement that involves real estate development to consider whether the loan qualifies for accounting as a loan or as an investment in a real estate development project. The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310-10. For each loan, the Company has concluded that the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.

The note was secured by a parcel of land located in Kissimmee, Florida. In March 2022, the unaffiliated third party repaid the $2.8 million secured note in full. (b) The Company has a secured note with an unaffiliated third party with an aggregate commitment of $31.4 million. During 2022, the terms of this secured note were amended to increase the aggregate commitment from $25.4 million to $31.4 million and to extend the maturity date to December 2023. Interest payments are due monthly, with the exception of payments from June 2022 to December 2023, which will accrue and be due at maturity of the note. The note is secured by substantially all of the borrower’s assets and matures at the earliest of the following: (a) the closing of any private or public capital raising in the amount of $5.0 million or greater; (b) an acquisition; (c) acceleration in the event of default; or (d) December 2023. (c) In June 2022, the Company entered into a secured mezzanine loan with a third party developer of a 482 apartment home community located in Riverside, California, which is expected to be completed in 2025, with an aggregate commitment of $59.7 million, of which $7.9 million was funded during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest payments accrue for 36 months and are due monthly after the loan has been outstanding for 36 months . The secured mezzanine loan has a scheduled maturity date in December 2026, with two one-year extension options. (d) In June 2022, the Company entered into a secured mezzanine loan with a third party developer of a 237 apartment home community located in Menifee, California, which is expected to be completed in 2025, with an aggregate commitment of $24.4 million, none of which was funded during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest payments accrue for 36 months and are due monthly after the loan has been outstanding for 36 months . The secured mezzanine loan has a scheduled maturity date in December 2026, with two one-year extension options. (e) In June 2022, the Company and a syndicate of lenders entered into a $16.0 million secured credit facility with an unaffiliated third party. The Company’s share of the facility was $1.5 million, all of which was funded during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Interest payments will accrue and be due at maturity of the facility. The facility is secured by substantially all of the borrower’s assets and matures at the earliest of the following: (a) acceleration in the event of default; or (b) June 2027. The Company recognized $0.7 million and $2.0 million of interest income for the notes receivable described above during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $1.4 million and $4.0 million of interest income for the notes receivable described above during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, none of which was related party interest. Interest income is included in Interest income and other income/(expense), net Comprehensive Income/(Loss) Comprehensive income/(loss), which is defined as the change in equity during each period from transactions and other events and circumstances from nonowner sources, including all changes in equity during a period except for those resulting from investments by or distributions to stockholders, is displayed in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss). For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the Company’s other comprehensive income/(loss) consisted of the gain/(loss) on derivative instruments that are designated as and qualify as cash flow hedges, (gain)/loss on derivative instruments reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) into earnings, and the allocation of other comprehensive income/(loss) to noncontrolling interests. The (gain)/loss on derivative instruments reclassified from other comprehensive income/(loss) is included in Interest expense Derivatives and Hedging Activity, Income Taxes Due to the structure of the Company as a REIT and the nature of the operations for the operating properties, no provision for federal income taxes has been provided for at UDR. Historically, the Company has generally incurred only state and local excise and franchise taxes. UDR has elected for certain consolidated subsidiaries to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Income taxes for our TRS are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period of the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets/(liabilities) are generally the result of differing depreciable lives on capitalized assets, temporary differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities and timing of expense recognition for certain accrued liabilities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, UDR’s net deferred tax asset/(liability) was ($0.8) million and ($0.8) million, respectively, and are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities GAAP defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. GAAP also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company recognizes and evaluates its tax positions using a two-step process. First, UDR determines whether a tax position is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent probability) to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, the Company will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company invests in assets that qualify for federal investment tax credits (“ITC”) through our TRS. An ITC reduces federal income taxes payable when qualifying depreciable property is acquired. The ITC is determined as a percentage of cost of the assets. The Company accounts for ITCs under the deferral method, under which the tax benefit from the ITC is deferred and amortized as a tax benefit into Tax (provision)/benefit, net Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities UDR had no material unrecognized tax benefit, accrued interest or penalties at June 30, 2022. UDR and its subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The tax years 2018 through 2020 remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which we are subject. When applicable, UDR recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Tax (provision)/benefit, net ​ Forward Sales Agreements ​ From time to time the Company utilizes forward sales agreements for the future issuance of its common stock. When the Company enters into a forward sales agreement, the contract requires the Company to sell its shares to a counterparty at a predetermined price at a future date. The net sales price and proceeds attained by the Company will be determined on the dates of settlement, with adjustments during the term of the contract for the Company’s anticipated dividends as well as for a daily interest factor that varies with changes in the federal funds rate. The Company generally has the ability to determine the dates and method of settlement (i.e., gross physical settlement, net share settlement or cash settlement), subject to certain conditions and the right of the counterparty to accelerate settlement under certain circumstances. ​ The Company accounts for the shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon settlement as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ​ The guidance establishes a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, first, evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and second, evaluating the instrument’s settlement provisions. When entering into forward sales agreements, we determined that (i) none of the agreement’s exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions preclude the agreements from being indexed to our own stock. ​ Before the issuance of shares of common stock, upon physical or net share settlement of the forward sales agreements, the Company expects that the shares issuable upon settlement of the forward sales agreements will be reflected in its diluted income/(loss) per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of common stock used in calculating diluted income/(loss) per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the forward sales agreements over the number of shares of common stock that could be purchased by the Company in the open market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period). When the Company physically or net share settles any forward sales agreement, the delivery of shares of common stock would result in an increase in the number of weighted average common shares outstanding and dilution to basic income/(loss) per share. (See Note 8, Income/(Loss) per Share ​ Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic ​ We continue to monitor the status and respond to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business. While the pandemic and related government measures adversely impacted our business in certain prior periods, the extent of the impact generally has decreased. Future developments regarding COVID-19, however, continue to be uncertain and difficult to predict. There can be no assurances that closures or restrictions in response to COVID-19, including due to new variants, will not be imposed in the future or that other developments related to COVID-19 will not adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods. ​ During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company performed an analysis in accordance with the ASC 842, Leases, guidance to assess the collectibility of its operating lease receivables in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis included an assessment of collectibility of current and future rents and whether those lease payments were no longer probable of collection. In accordance with the leases guidance, if lease payments are no longer deemed to be probable over the life of the lease contract, we recognize revenue only when cash is received, and all existing contractual operating lease receivables and straight-line lease receivables are reserved. ​ As a result of its analysis, the Company increased its reserve by approximately $0.9 million for multifamily tenant lease receivables and approximately $0.2 million for retail tenant lease receivables for its wholly-owned communities and communities held by joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reduced its reserve by approximately $0.4 million for multifamily tenant lease receivables and approximately $1.0 million for retail tenant lease receivables for its wholly-owned communities and communities held by joint ventures. In aggregate, the reduction in reserve is reflected as a $1.1 million increase to Rental income and a $0.3 million increase to Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 . The impact to deferred leasing commissions was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. ​ The Company did not recognize any other adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or asset impairment charges due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the six months ended June 30, 2022 .

REAL ESTATE OWNED Real estate assets owned by the Company consist of income producing operating properties, properties under development, land held for future development, and held for disposition properties. As of June 30, 2022, the Company owned and consolidated 162 communities in 13 states plus the District of Columbia totaling 54,314 apartment homes. The following table summarizes the carrying amounts for our real estate owned (at cost) as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021 (dollars in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ June 30, December 31, ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2021 Land ​ $ 2,497,899 ​ $ 2,342,385 Depreciable property — held and used: ​ ​ ​ Land improvements ​ 245,963 ​ 241,905 Building, improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 12,078,812 ​ 11,717,931 Real estate intangible assets ​ ​ 50,013 ​ ​ 50,013 Under development: ​ ​ Land and land improvements ​ 77,080 ​ 74,399 Building, improvements, and furniture, fixtures and equipment ​ 323,693 ​ 314,170 Real estate owned ​ 15,273,460 ​ 14,740,803 Accumulated depreciation (a) ​ (5,445,095) ​ (5,137,096) Real estate owned, net ​ $ 9,828,365 ​ $ 9,603,707 (a) Accumulated depreciation is inclusive of $11.6 million and $8.8 million of accumulated amortization related to real estate intangible assets as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. ​ Acquisitions In April 2022, the Company acquired a to-be-developed parcel of land located in Fort Lauderdale, Florida for approximately $16.0 million. ​ In June 2022, the Company acquired a 434 apartment home operating community located in Danvers, Massachusetts for approximately $207.5 million. The Company increased its real estate assets owned by approximately $203.7 million and recorded $3.8 million of in-place lease intangibles. ​ In June 2022, the Company acquired three contiguous to-be-developed parcels of land located in Dallas, Texas for approximately $90.2 million. ​ In June 2022, the Company acquired a to-be-developed parcel of land, which included two operating retail components, located in Riverside, California for approximately $29.0 million. The Company increased its real estate assets owned by approximately $28.2 million and recorded $0.8 million of in-place lease intangibles. ​ Dispositions ​ ​ Other Activity Predevelopment, development, and redevelopment projects and related costs are capitalized and reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as Total real estate owned, net of accumulated depreciation 2021, were $4.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, and $10.2 million and $6.8 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Total capitalized interest was $3.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and $6.9 million and $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. As each apartment home in a capital project is completed and becomes available for lease-up, the Company ceases capitalization on the related portion of the costs and depreciation commences over the estimated useful life. We record impairment losses on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the future operation and disposition of those assets are less than the net book value of those assets. Our cash flow estimates are based upon historical results adjusted to reflect our best estimate of future market and operating conditions and our estimated holding periods. The net book value of impaired assets is reduced to fair value. Our estimates of fair value represent our best estimate based upon Level 3 inputs such as industry trends and reference to market rates and transactions. The Company did not recognize any impairments in the value of its long-lived assets during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. In connection with the acquisition of certain properties, the Company agreed to pay certain of the tax liabilities of certain contributors if the Company sells one or more of the properties contributed in a taxable transaction prior to the expiration of specified periods of time following the acquisition. The Company may, however, sell, without being required to pay any tax liabilities, any of such properties in a non-taxable transaction, including, but not limited to, a tax-deferred Section 1031 exchange. Further, the Company has agreed to maintain certain debt that may be guaranteed by certain contributors for specified periods of time following the acquisition. The Company, however, has the ability to refinance or repay guaranteed debt or to substitute new debt if the debt and the guaranty continue to satisfy certain conditions.

LEASES	6. LEASES Lessee - Ground Leases UDR has six communities that are subject to ground leases, under which UDR is the lessee, that expire between 2043 and 2103, inclusive of extension options we are reasonably certain will be exercised. All of these leases are classified as operating leases through the lease term expiration based on our election of the practical expedient provided by the leasing standard. Rental expense for lease payments related to operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term. We currently do not hold any finance leases. The Company also elected the short-term lease exception provided by the leasing standard and therefore only recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a term greater than one year. No leases qualified for the short-term lease exception during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Operating lease right-of-use assets Operating lease liabilities Operating lease right-of-use assets Operating lease liabilities remaining lease term (described further in the table below). Variable lease payments are excluded from the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and are recognized in earnings in the period in which the obligation for those payments is incurred. As the discount rate implicit in the leases was not readily determinable, we determined the discount rate for these leases utilizing the Company’s incremental borrowing rate at a portfolio level, adjusted for the remaining lease term, and the form of underlying collateral. The weighted average remaining lease term for these leases was 42.9 years and 43.2 years at June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, and the weighted average discount rate was 5.0% at both June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021. Future minimum lease payments and total operating lease liabilities from our ground leases as of June 30, 2022 are as follows (dollars in thousands): ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Ground Leases 2022 ​ $ 6,220 2023 ​ ​ 12,442 2024 ​ ​ 12,442 2025 ​ ​ 12,442 2026 ​ ​ 12,442 Thereafter ​ ​ 430,337 Total future minimum lease payments (undiscounted) ​ ​ 486,325 Difference between future undiscounted cash flows and discounted cash flows ​ ​ (295,444) Total operating lease liabilities (discounted) ​ $ 190,881 ​ For purposes of recognizing our ground lease contracts, the Company uses the minimum lease payments, if stated in the agreement. For ground lease agreements where there is a rent reset provision based on a change in an index or a rate (i.e., changes in fair market rental rates or changes in the consumer price index) but that does not include a specified minimum lease payment, the Company uses the current rent over the remainder of the lease term. If there is a contingency upon which some or all of the variable lease payments that will be paid over the remainder of the lease term are based, which is resolved such that those payments now meet the definition of lease payments, the Company will remeasure the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the reset date.

(c) For the six months ended June 30, 2022, Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities amortized by $1.7 million and $1.6 million, respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, Operating lease right-of-use assets and Operating lease liabilities amortized by $1.7 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Due to the net impact of the amortization, the Company recorded $0.1 million and $0.1 million of total operating lease expense during the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.2 million of total operating lease expense during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. ​ Lessor - Apartment Home, Retail and Commercial Space Leases ​ UDR’s communities and retail and commercial space are leased to tenants under operating leases. As of June 30, 2022, our apartment home leases generally have initial terms of 12 months or less. As of June 30, 2022, our retail and commercial space leases generally have initial terms of between 5 and 15 years and represent approximately 1% to 2% of our total lease revenue. Our apartment home leases are generally renewable at the end of the lease term, subject to potential increases in rental rates, and our retail and commercial space leases generally have renewal options, subject to associated increases in rental rates due to market based or fixed price renewal options and certain other conditions.

Our secured debt instruments generally feature either monthly interest and principal or monthly interest-only payments with balloon payments due at maturity. As of June 30, 2022, secured debt encumbered 11% of UDR’s total real estate owned based upon gross book value (approximately 89% of UDR’s real estate owned based on gross book value is unencumbered). (a) The Company will from time to time acquire properties subject to fixed rate debt instruments. In those situations, the Company records the debt at its estimated fair value and amortizes any difference between the fair value and par value to interest expense over the term of the underlying debt instrument. (b) Interest expense ​ (c) (d) Based on the Company’s current credit rating, the Revolving Credit Facility has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 77.5 basis points and a facility fee of 15 basis points, and the Term Loan has an interest rate equal to LIBOR plus a margin of 85 basis points. Depending on the Company’s credit rating, the margin under the Revolving Credit Facility ranges from 70 to 140 basis points, the facility fee ranges from 10 to 30 basis points, and the margin under the Term Loan ranges from 75 to 160 basis points. F urther, the Credit Agreement includes sustainability adjustments pursuant to which the applicable margin for the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan may be reduced by up to two basis points after September 15, 2022 contingent upon the Company receiving green building certifications. In November 2020, the Company entered into three interest rate swaps, which became effective in January 2021, to hedge against interest rate risk on the Term Loan until July 2022. The all-in weighted average interest rate, inclusive of the impact of the interest rate swaps, was 1.02% . ​ The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.

Diluted income/(loss) per common share is computed based upon the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus the common shares issuable from the assumed conversion of the OP Units and DownREIT Units, convertible preferred stock, stock options, unvested long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”), performance units, unvested restricted stock and continuous equity program forward sales agreements. Only those instruments having a dilutive impact on our basic income/(loss) per share are included in diluted income/(loss) per share during the periods. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, the effect of the conversion of the OP Units, DownREIT Units and the Company’s Series E preferred stock was not dilutive and therefore not included in the above calculation. In July 2021, the Company entered into an ATM sales agreement under which the Company may offer and sell up to 20.0 million shares of its common stock, from time to time, to or through its sales agents and may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through its forward purchasers. Upon entering into the ATM sales agreement, the Company simultaneously terminated the sales agreement for its prior at-the-market equity offering program, which was entered into in July 2017. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company settled 4.4 million shares of common stock through its ATM program pursuant to the Company’s forward sales agreements described below In connection with any forward sales agreement under the Company’s ATM program, the relevant forward purchasers will borrow from third parties and, through the relevant sales agent, acting in its role as forward seller, sell a number of shares of the Company’s common stock equal to the number of shares underlying the agreement. The Company does not initially receive any proceeds from any sale of borrowed shares by the forward seller. ​ In June 2022, the Company settled all million shares under the outstanding forward sales agreements under its ATM program at a weighted average forward price per share of $ , which is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect the then-current federal funds rate, the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock over the term of the agreements and commissions paid to sales agents of approximately $ million, for net proceeds of $ million. ​ In March 2022, in connection with an underwritten public offering, the Company entered into forward sale agreements to sell 7.0 million shares of its common stock at an initial forward price per share of $57.565. The actual forward price per share to be received by the Company upon settlement will be determined on the applicable settlement date based on adjustments made to the initial forward price to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock over the term of the forward sales agreements. In June 2022, the Company settled 2.1 million shares under the forward sales agreements at a forward price per share of $57.18, which is inclusive of adjustments made to reflect the then-current federal funds rate and the amount of dividends paid to holders of UDR common stock, for net proceeds of $120.1 million. As of June 30, 2022, 4.9 million shares under the forward sale agreements had not been settled. The final date by which shares sold under the forward sale agreements must be settled is March 30, 2023. ​ As described above, during the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company settled 6.5 million shares in aggregate under previously announced forward sales agreements including under the ATM program for net proceeds of $351.0 million. Aggregate net proceeds from such forward sales, after deducting related expenses, were $350.3 million. ​ The Company generally has the ability to determine the dates and method of settlement (i.e., gross physical settlement, net share settlement or cash settlement), subject to certain conditions and the right of the counterparty to accelerate settlement under certain circumstances. The Company currently expects to fully physically settle each forward sales agreement with the relevant forward purchaser on one or more dates specified by the Company on or prior to the maturity date of that particular forward sales agreement, in which case the Company expects to receive aggregate net cash proceeds at settlement equal to the number of shares underlying the particular forward sales agreement multiplied by the relevant forward sale price. However, subject to certain exceptions, the Company may also elect, in its discretion, to cash settle or net share settle a particular forward sales agreement, in which case the Company may not receive any proceeds (in the case of cash settlement) or will not receive any proceeds (in the case of net share settlement), and the Company may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of UDR common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to the relevant forward purchaser. ​ The following table sets forth the additional shares of common stock outstanding, by equity instrument, if converted to common stock for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Three Months Ended ​ Six Months Ended ​ ​ ​ June 30, ​ June 30, ​ ​ ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ 2022 ​ 2021 ​ OP/DownREIT Units 21,534 22,550 21,534 22,474 Convertible preferred stock 2,918 2,918 2,918 2,918 Unvested LTIP Units and unvested restricted stock 1,221 953 1,411 657 ​

NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership Interests in the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership held by limited partners are represented by OP Units and DownREIT Units, respectively. The income is allocated to holders of OP Units/DownREIT Units based upon net income attributable to common stockholders and the weighted average number of OP Units/DownREIT Units outstanding to total common shares plus OP Units/DownREIT Units outstanding during the period. Capital contributions, distributions, and profits and losses are allocated to noncontrolling interests in accordance with the terms of the partnership agreements of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership. Limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership have the right to require such partnership to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units/DownREIT Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership, as applicable), provided that such OP Units/DownREIT Units have been outstanding for at least one year, subject to certain exceptions. UDR, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership and the DownREIT Partnership may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units/DownREIT Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Share Amount (generally one share of common stock of the Company for each OP Unit/DownREIT Unit), as defined in the partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership or the DownREIT Partnership, as applicable. Accordingly, the Company records the OP Units/DownREIT Units outside of permanent equity and reports the OP Units/DownREIT Units at their redemption value using the Company’s stock price at each balance sheet date.

FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS	10. FAIR VALUE OF DERIVATIVES AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Fair value is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. A three-level valuation hierarchy prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below: ● Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access. ● Level 2 — Observable inputs other than prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated with observable market data. ● Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. The estimated fair values of the Company’s financial instruments either recorded or disclosed on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value at June 30, 2022, Using ​ ​ Total ​ ​ ​ Quoted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ ​ ​ Prices in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amount in ​ ​ ​ Active ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Statement of ​ ​ ​ ​ Markets ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Financial ​ Fair Value ​ for Identical ​ Other ​ Significant ​ ​ Position at ​ Estimate at ​ Assets or ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ June 30, ​ June 30, ​ Liabilities ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ ​ 2022 (a) ​ 2022 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Description: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Notes receivable, net (b) ​ $ 37,548 ​ $ 38,281 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 38,281 Equity securities (c) ​ ​ 12,466 ​ ​ 12,466 ​ ​ 12,466 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — Derivatives - Interest rate contracts (d) ​ 11,760 ​ 11,760 ​ — ​ 11,760 ​ — Total assets ​ $ 61,774 ​ $ 62,507 ​ $ 12,466 ​ $ 11,760 ​ $ 38,281 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Secured debt instruments - fixed rate: (e) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mortgage notes payable ​ $ 1,030,973 ​ $ 956,547 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 956,547 Secured debt instruments - variable rate: (e) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tax-exempt secured notes payable ​ 27,000 ​ 27,000 ​ — ​ — ​ 27,000 Unsecured debt instruments: (e) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Working capital credit facility ​ ​ 30,927 ​ ​ 30,927 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 30,927 Commercial paper program ​ ​ 325,000 ​ ​ 325,000 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 325,000 Unsecured notes ​ ​ 4,132,065 ​ ​ 3,588,514 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 3,588,514 Total liabilities ​ $ 5,545,965 ​ $ 4,927,988 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 4,927,988 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership (f) ​ $ 1,013,165 ​ $ 1,013,165 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,013,165 ​ $ — ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Fair Value at December 31, 2021, Using ​ ​ Total ​ ​ ​ Quoted ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Carrying ​ ​ ​ Prices in ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Amount in ​ ​ ​ Active ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Statement of ​ ​ ​ Markets ​ Significant ​ ​ ​ ​ Financial ​ Fair Value ​ for Identical ​ Other ​ Significant ​ ​ Position at ​ Estimate at ​ Assets or ​ Observable ​ Unobservable ​ ​ December 31, ​ December 31, ​ Liabilities ​ Inputs ​ Inputs ​ 2021 (a) ​ 2021 ​ (Level 1) ​ (Level 2) ​ (Level 3) Description: ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Notes receivable, net (b) ​ $ 26,860 ​ $ 27,372 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 27,372 Equity securities (c) ​ ​ 3,230 ​ ​ 3,230 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 3,230 Derivatives - Interest rate contracts (d) ​ 3,279 ​ 3,279 ​ — ​ 3,279 ​ — Total assets ​ $ 33,369 ​ $ 33,881 ​ $ — ​ $ 3,279 ​ $ 30,602 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Secured debt instruments - fixed rate: (e) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Mortgage notes payable ​ $ 1,033,764 ​ $ 1,032,582 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 1,032,582 Secured debt instruments - variable rate: (e) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Tax-exempt secured notes payable ​ 27,000 ​ 27,000 ​ — ​ — ​ 27,000 Unsecured debt instruments: (e) ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Working capital credit facility ​ ​ 29,546 ​ ​ 29,546 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 29,546 Commercial paper program ​ ​ 220,000 ​ ​ 220,000 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 220,000 Unsecured notes ​ ​ 4,133,083 ​ ​ 4,199,363 ​ ​ — ​ ​ — ​ ​ 4,199,363 Total liabilities ​ $ 5,443,393 ​ $ 5,508,491 ​ $ — ​ $ — ​ $ 5,508,491 ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership (f) ​ $ 1,299,442 ​ $ 1,299,442 ​ $ — ​ $ 1,299,442 ​ $ — (a) Certain balances include fair market value adjustments and exclude deferred financing costs. (b) See Note 2, Significant Accounting Policies . (c) The Company holds a direct investment in a publicly traded real estate technology company, SmartRent, that was previously subject to a lock-up restriction on selling or transferring the investment, which expired in February 2022. The investment is valued at the market price on June 30, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, was valued at the market price on December 31, 2021 less an illiquidity discount of 15.0% . Since the lock-up restriction expired, the Company currently classifies the investment as Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. The Company previously classified the investment as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy based upon the lock-up restriction. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company increased its direct investment in SmartRent due to stock distributions from its unconsolidated real estate technology investments. (d) See Note 11, Derivatives and Hedging Activity . (e) See Note 7, Secured and Unsecured Debt, Net . (f) See Note 9, Noncontrolling Interests. Other than described in footnote (c) above, there were no transfers into or out of any of the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the six months ended June 30, 2022. Financial Instruments Carried at Fair Value The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. The fair values of interest rate swaps and caps are determined using the market standard methodology of discounting the future expected cash receipts that would occur if variable interest rates rise above the strike rate of the caps. The variable interest rates used in the calculation of projected receipts on the cap are based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from observable market interest rate curves and volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees. 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 its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In conjunction with the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership have a redemption feature and are marked to their redemption value. The redemption value is based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the redemption date, and therefore, is calculated based on the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the balance sheet date. Since the valuation is based on observable inputs such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and DownREIT Partnership are classified as Level 2. Financial Instruments Not Carried at Fair Value At June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, prepaids, real estate taxes payable, accrued interest payable, security deposits and prepaid rent, distributions payable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values because of the short term nature of these instruments. The estimated fair values of other financial instruments, which includes notes receivable and debt instruments, are classified in Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy due to the significant unobservable inputs that are utilized in their respective valuations.

DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITY
DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITY	11. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITY Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of its debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings. Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium. The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net Amounts reported in Accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss), net Interest expense As of June 30, 2022, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk ( dollars in thousands ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Number of ​ Product ​ Instruments ​ Notional Interest rate swaps and caps (a) ​ 4 ​ $ 334,880 (a) In addition to the interest rate swaps summarized above, the Company entered into two additional interest rate swaps with a total notional value of $175.0 million that became effective in July 2022 upon maturity of $315.0 million of the notional value of the interest rate swaps included above. Derivatives not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage the Company’s exposure to interest rate movements and other identified risks but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements of GAAP.

REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
REPORTABLE SEGMENTS	14. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS GAAP guidance requires that segment disclosures present the measure(s) used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker to decide how to allocate resources and for purposes of assessing such segments’ performance. UDR’s Chief Operating Decision Maker is comprised of several members of its executive management team who use several generally accepted industry financial measures to assess the performance of the business for our reportable operating segments. UDR owns and operates multifamily apartment communities that generate rental and other property related income through the leasing of apartment homes to a diverse base of tenants. The primary financial measures for UDR’s apartment communities are rental income and net operating income (“NOI”). Rental income represents gross market rent less adjustments for concessions, vacancy loss and bad debt. NOI is defined as rental income less direct property rental expenses. Rental expenses include real estate taxes, insurance, personnel, utilities, repairs and maintenance, administrative and marketing. Excluded from NOI is property management expense, which is calculated as 3.25% of property revenue, and land rent. Property management expense covers costs directly related to consolidated property operations, inclusive of corporate management, regional supervision, accounting and other costs. UDR’s Chief Operating Decision Maker utilizes NOI as the key measure of segment profit or loss. UDR’s two reportable segments are Same-Store Communities Non-Mature Communities/Other ● Same-Store Communities represent those communities acquired, developed, and stabilized prior to April 1, 2021 (for quarter-to-date comparison) and January 1, 2021 (for year-to-date comparison) and held as of June 30, 2022. A comparison of operating results from the prior year is meaningful as these communities were owned and had stabilized occupancy and operating expenses as of the beginning of the prior period, there is no plan to conduct substantial redevelopment activities, and the community is not classified as held for disposition within the current year. A community is considered to have stabilized occupancy once it achieves 90% occupancy for at least three consecutive months. ● Non-Mature Communities/Other represent those communities that do not meet the criteria to be included in Same-Store Communities , including, but not limited to, recently acquired, developed and redeveloped communities, and the non-apartment components of mixed use properties. Management evaluates the performance of each of our apartment communities on a Same-Store Community Non-Mature Community/Other All revenues are from external customers and no single tenant or related group of tenants contributed 10% or more of UDR’s total revenues during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. ​ The following is a description of the principal streams from which the Company generates its revenue: Lease Revenue ​ Lease revenue related to leases is recognized on an accrual basis when due from residents or tenants in accordance with ASC 842, Leases ​ Lease revenue also includes all pass-through revenue from retail and residential leases and common area maintenance reimbursements from retail leases. These services represent non-lease components in a contract as the Company transfers a service to the lessee other than the right to use the underlying asset. The Company has elected the practical expedient under the leasing standard to not separate lease and non-lease components from its resident and retail lease contracts as the timing and pattern of revenue recognition for the non-lease component and related lease component are the same and the combined single lease component would be classified as an operating lease. ​ Other Revenue ​ Other revenue is generated by services provided by the Company to its retail and residential tenants and other unrelated third parties. Revenue is measured based on consideration specified in contracts with customers. The Company recognizes when it satisfies a performance obligation by providing the services specified in a contract to the customer. ​ Joint venture management and other fees ​ The Joint venture management and other fees Joint venture management and other fees The following table details rental income and NOI for UDR’s reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, and reconciles NOI to Net income/(loss) attributable to UDR, Inc.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)
Principles of Consolidation	Principles of Consolidation The Company accounts for subsidiary partnerships, joint ventures and other similar entities in which it holds an ownership interest in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The Company first evaluates whether each entity is a variable interest entity (“VIE”). Under the VIE model, the Company consolidates an entity when it has control to direct the activities of the VIE and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the voting model, the Company consolidates an entity when it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest.
Real Estate Sales Gain Recognition	Real Estate Sales Gain Recognition ​ For sale transactions resulting in a transfer of a controlling financial interest of a property, the Company generally derecognizes the related assets and liabilities from its Consolidated Balance Sheets and records the gain or loss in the period in which the transfer of control occurs. If control of the property has not transferred to the counterparty, the criteria for derecognition are not met and the Company will continue to recognize the related assets and liabilities on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. ​ Sale transactions to entities in which the Company sells a controlling financial interest in a property but retains a noncontrolling interest are accounted for as partial sales. Partial sales resulting in a change in control are accounted for at fair value and a full gain or loss is recognized. Therefore, the Company will record a gain or loss on the partial interest sold, and the initial measurement of our retained interest will be accounted for at fair value. ​ Sales of real estate to joint ventures or other noncontrolled investees are also accounted for at fair value and the Company will record a full gain or loss in the period the property is contributed. ​ To the extent that the Company acquires a controlling financial interest in a property that it previously accounted for as an equity method investment, the Company will not remeasure its previously held interest if the acquisition is treated as an asset acquisition. The Company will include the carrying amount of its previously held equity method interest along with the consideration paid and transaction costs incurred in determining the amounts to allocate to the related assets and liabilities acquired on its Consolidated Balance Sheets. When treated as an asset acquisition, the Company will not recognize a gain or loss on consolidation of a property.
Allowance for Credit Losses	Allowance for Credit Losses The Company accounts for allowance for credit losses under the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) impairment model for its financial assets, including trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other financial instruments, and presents the net amount of the financial instrument expected to be collected. The CECL impairment model excludes operating lease receivables. The CECL impairment model requires an estimate of expected credit losses, measured over the contractual life of an instrument, that considers forecasts of future economic conditions in addition to information about past events and current conditions. Based on this model, we analyze the following criteria, as applicable in developing allowances for credit losses: historical loss information, the borrower’s ability to make scheduled payments, the remaining time to maturity, the value of underlying collateral, projected future performance of the borrower and macroeconomic trends. ​ The Company measures credit losses of financial assets on a collective (pool) basis when similar risk characteristics exist. If the Company determines that a financial asset does not share risk characteristics with the Company’s other financial assets, the Company evaluates the financial asset for expected credit losses on an individual basis. Allowance for credit losses are recorded as a direct reduction from an asset’s amortized cost basis. Credit losses and recoveries are recorded in Interest income and other income/(expense), net ​ The Company has made the optional election provided by the standard not to measure allowance for credit losses for accrued interest receivables as the Company writes off any uncollectible accrued interest receivables in a timely manner. The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its accrued interest receivables. A write-off is recorded when the Company concludes that all or a portion of its accrued interest receivable balance is no longer collectible.
Notes Receivable	Notes Receivable Notes receivable relate to financing arrangements which are typically secured by assets of the borrower that may include real estate assets. Certain of the loans we extend may include characteristics such as options to purchase the project within a specific time window following expected project completion. These characteristics can cause the loans to fall under the definition of a VIE, and thus trigger consolidation consideration. We consider the facts and circumstances pertinent to each loan, including the relative amount of financing we are contributing to the overall project cost, decision making rights or control we hold, and our rights to expected residual gains or our obligations to absorb expected residual losses from the project. If we are deemed to be the primary beneficiary of a VIE due to holding a controlling financial interest, the majority of decision making control, or by other means, consolidation of the VIE would be required. The Company has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of the borrowing entities of the existing loans. Additionally, we analyze each loan arrangement that involves real estate development to consider whether the loan qualifies for accounting as a loan or as an investment in a real estate development project. The Company has evaluated its real estate loans, where appropriate, for accounting treatment as loans versus real estate development projects, as required by ASC 310-10. For each loan, the Company has concluded that the characteristics and the facts and circumstances indicate that loan accounting treatment is appropriate.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes Due to the structure of the Company as a REIT and the nature of the operations for the operating properties, no provision for federal income taxes has been provided for at UDR. Historically, the Company has generally incurred only state and local excise and franchise taxes. UDR has elected for certain consolidated subsidiaries to be treated as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”). Income taxes for our TRS are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities from a change in tax rate is recognized in earnings in the period of the enactment date. The Company’s deferred tax assets/(liabilities) are generally the result of differing depreciable lives on capitalized assets, temporary differences between book and tax basis of assets and liabilities and timing of expense recognition for certain accrued liabilities. As of June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, UDR’s net deferred tax asset/(liability) was ($0.8) million and ($0.8) million, respectively, and are recorded in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities GAAP defines a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. GAAP also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting for interim periods, disclosure and transition. The Company recognizes and evaluates its tax positions using a two-step process. First, UDR determines whether a tax position is more likely than not (greater than 50 percent probability) to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Second, the Company will determine the amount of benefit to recognize and record the amount that is more likely than not to be realized upon ultimate settlement. The Company invests in assets that qualify for federal investment tax credits (“ITC”) through our TRS. An ITC reduces federal income taxes payable when qualifying depreciable property is acquired. The ITC is determined as a percentage of cost of the assets. The Company accounts for ITCs under the deferral method, under which the tax benefit from the ITC is deferred and amortized as a tax benefit into Tax (provision)/benefit, net Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities UDR had no material unrecognized tax benefit, accrued interest or penalties at June 30, 2022. UDR and its subsidiaries are subject to federal income tax as well as income tax of various state and local jurisdictions. The tax years 2018 through 2020 remain open to examination by tax jurisdictions to which we are subject. When applicable, UDR recognizes interest and/or penalties related to uncertain tax positions in Tax (provision)/benefit, net
Forward Sales Agreements	Forward Sales Agreements ​ From time to time the Company utilizes forward sales agreements for the future issuance of its common stock. When the Company enters into a forward sales agreement, the contract requires the Company to sell its shares to a counterparty at a predetermined price at a future date. The net sales price and proceeds attained by the Company will be determined on the dates of settlement, with adjustments during the term of the contract for the Company’s anticipated dividends as well as for a daily interest factor that varies with changes in the federal funds rate. The Company generally has the ability to determine the dates and method of settlement (i.e., gross physical settlement, net share settlement or cash settlement), subject to certain conditions and the right of the counterparty to accelerate settlement under certain circumstances. ​ The Company accounts for the shares of common stock reserved for issuance upon settlement as equity in accordance with ASC 815-40, Contracts in Entity's Own Equity ​ The guidance establishes a two-step process for evaluating whether an equity-linked financial instrument is considered indexed to the entity’s own stock, first, evaluating the instrument’s contingent exercise provisions and second, evaluating the instrument’s settlement provisions. When entering into forward sales agreements, we determined that (i) none of the agreement’s exercise contingencies are based on observable markets or indices besides those related to the market for our own stock price; and (ii) none of the settlement provisions preclude the agreements from being indexed to our own stock. ​ Before the issuance of shares of common stock, upon physical or net share settlement of the forward sales agreements, the Company expects that the shares issuable upon settlement of the forward sales agreements will be reflected in its diluted income/(loss) per share calculations using the treasury stock method. Under this method, the number of shares of common stock used in calculating diluted income/(loss) per share is deemed to be increased by the excess, if any, of the number of shares of common stock that would be issued upon full physical settlement of the forward sales agreements over the number of shares of common stock that could be purchased by the Company in the open market (based on the average market price during the period) using the proceeds receivable upon full physical settlement (based on the adjusted forward sale price at the end of the reporting period). When the Company physically or net share settles any forward sales agreement, the delivery of shares of common stock would result in an increase in the number of weighted average common shares outstanding and dilution to basic income/(loss) per share. (See Note 8, Income/(Loss) per Share
Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic	Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic ​ We continue to monitor the status and respond to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on our business. While the pandemic and related government measures adversely impacted our business in certain prior periods, the extent of the impact generally has decreased. Future developments regarding COVID-19, however, continue to be uncertain and difficult to predict. There can be no assurances that closures or restrictions in response to COVID-19, including due to new variants, will not be imposed in the future or that other developments related to COVID-19 will not adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods. ​ During the three and six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company performed an analysis in accordance with the ASC 842, Leases, guidance to assess the collectibility of its operating lease receivables in light of the COVID-19 pandemic. This analysis included an assessment of collectibility of current and future rents and whether those lease payments were no longer probable of collection. In accordance with the leases guidance, if lease payments are no longer deemed to be probable over the life of the lease contract, we recognize revenue only when cash is received, and all existing contractual operating lease receivables and straight-line lease receivables are reserved. ​ As a result of its analysis, the Company increased its reserve by approximately $0.9 million for multifamily tenant lease receivables and approximately $0.2 million for retail tenant lease receivables for its wholly-owned communities and communities held by joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2022. For the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company reduced its reserve by approximately $0.4 million for multifamily tenant lease receivables and approximately $1.0 million for retail tenant lease receivables for its wholly-owned communities and communities held by joint ventures. In aggregate, the reduction in reserve is reflected as a $1.1 million increase to Rental income and a $0.3 million increase to Income/(loss) from unconsolidated entities on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022 . The impact to deferred leasing commissions was not material for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. ​ The Company did not recognize any other adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets or asset impairment charges due to the COVID-19 pandemic for the six months ended June 30, 2022 .
