                           (GWINNETT COUNTY, GEORGIA)

         This Assignment of Leases and Rents (this  "ASSIGNMENT")  is made as of
September  27,  1999,  by  CORNERSTONE  REALTY  INCOME  TRUST,  INC., a Virginia
corporation  having its principal  office and place of business at 306 East Main
Street,  Richmond,  Virginia 23219  ("BORROWER"),  to THE  PRUDENTIAL  INSURANCE
COMPANY OF AMERICA,  a New Jersey  corporation,  having an office at Two Ravinia
Drive, Suite 1400, Atlanta, Georgia 30346 ("LENDER").

                                    RECITALS:

A.  Borrower is the sole owner of (a) the premises  located in Gwinnett  County,
Georgia,   more  particularly   described  in  Exhibit  A  attached  hereto  and
incorporated  herein  ("PROPERTY")  and (b) the  landlord's  interest  under the
leases described in Exhibit B attached hereto and incorporated herein ("SPECIFIC
LEASES");

B. Lender has made a loan to Borrower in the principal sum of Fifty Million Five
Hundred Fifty Thousand and No/100 Dollars ($50,550,000.00) ("LOAN") evidenced by
that certain  Promissory Note dated as of the date of this  Assignment  ("NOTE")
and  secured  by,  among  other  things,  that  certain  Deed to Secure Debt and
Security  Agreement executed by Borrower in favor of Lender dated as of the date
of this  Assignment  and to be recorded  in the real estate  records of Gwinnett
County, Georgia ("INSTRUMENT")  (capitalized terms used without definition shall
have the meanings ascribed to them in the Instrument) and the Documents; and

C. Lender was willing to make the Loan to Borrower only if Borrower assigned the
Leases and Rents to Lender in the manner provided below to secure payment of the
Obligations.

         IN  CONSIDERATION  of the  principal sum of the Note and other good and
valuable  consideration,  the  receipt  and  sufficiency  of  which  are  hereby
acknowledged, Borrower agrees as follows:

1. Assignment.  Borrower  irrevocably,  absolutely and unconditionally  assigns,
transfers,  and sets over to  Lender  all of the  right,  title,  interest,  and
estates  that  Borrower  may now or later  have in, to and under (a) the  Leases
(which term shall also include the Specific Leases and all





guaranties  thereof);  (b) the Rents;  (c) all proceeds  from the  cancellation,
surrender, sale or other disposition of the Leases; (d) the right to collect and
receive all the Rents; and (e) the right to enforce and exercise, whether at law
or in equity or by any other  means,  all  terms and  conditions  of the  Leases
("LEASE  PROVISIONS").  This  assignment  is intended by Borrower  and Lender to
constitute a present,  absolute  assignment and not a collateral  assignment for
additional  security only. Upon full payment and satisfaction of the Obligations
and written request by Borrower,  Lender shall transfer, set over, and assign to
Borrower all right,  title,  and interest of Lender in, to, and under the Leases
and the Rents.

2. Borrower's License.  Until an Event of Default occurs,  Borrower shall have a
revocable license ("LICENSE") from Lender to exercise all rights extended to the
landlord  under  the  Leases.  Borrower  shall  hold  the  Rents,  or an  amount
sufficient  to discharge all current sums due on the  Obligations,  in trust for
use in the payment of the Obligations.  Upon an Event of Default, whether or not
legal  proceedings  have  commenced  and  without  regard to waste,  adequacy of
security for the  Obligations  or the solvency of  Borrower,  the License  shall
automatically  terminate  without  notice  by  Lender  (any  such  notice  being
expressly waived by Borrower). Upon such termination,  Borrower shall deliver to
Lender  within seven (7) days (a) all Rents  (including  prepaid  Rents) held by
Borrower,  (b) all  unapplied  security or other  deposits  paid pursuant to the
Leases,  and (c)  all  previously  paid  charges  for  services,  facilities  or
escalations, to the extent, in each of the foregoing instances, allocable to any
period  after the Event of Default.  Borrower  agrees and  stipulates  that upon
execution of this Assignment, Borrower's only interest in the Leases or Rents is
as a licensee revocable upon an Event of Default.

3. Lender as Creditor of Tenant. Upon execution of this Assignment,  Lender, and
not Borrower,  shall be the creditor of any Tenant in respect of assignments for
the benefit of creditors and bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, dissolution
or receivership proceedings affecting any such Tenant;  provided,  however, that
Borrower  shall be the party  obligated to make timely filings of claims in such
proceedings or to otherwise pursue  creditor's  rights therein.  Notwithstanding
the foregoing, Lender shall have the right, but not the obligation, to file such
claims instead of Borrower and if Lender does file a claim, Borrower agrees that
Lender (a) is entitled to all  distributions  on such claim to the  exclusion of
Borrower  and (b) has the  exclusive  right to vote such claim and  otherwise to
participate in the  administration  of the estate in connection with such claim.
Lender shall have the option to apply any monies received by it as such creditor
to the  Obligations  in the order set forth in the  Documents.  If a petition is
filed  under the  Bankruptcy  Code by or  against  Borrower,  and  Borrower,  as
landlord  under any Lease,  decides to reject  such  Lease  pursuant  to Section
365(a) of the Bankruptcy Code, then Borrower shall give Lender at least ten (10)
days'  prior  written  notice  of the  date  when  Borrower  shall  apply to the
bankruptcy court for authority to reject the Lease. Lender may, but shall not be
obligated to, send Borrower  within such ten-day period a written notice stating
that (a)  Lender  demands  that  Borrower  assume and assign the Lease to Lender
pursuant to Section 365 of the Bankruptcy Code and (b) Lender  covenants to cure
or provide adequate  assurance of future  performance under the Lease. If Lender
sends such notice,  Borrower shall not reject the Lease provided Lender complies
with clause (b) of the preceding sentence.

4. Notice to Tenant of an Event of  Default.  Upon demand and notice of an Event
of  Default  by  Borrower  sent  by  Lender  to  Tenants,  Borrower  irrevocably
authorizes each Tenant to (a) pay



                                      -2-


all Rents to Lender and (b) rely upon any such notice  from  Lender  without any
obligation to inquire as to the actual existence of the default, notwithstanding
any claim of Borrower to the contrary.  Borrower shall have no claim against any
Tenant for any Rents paid by Tenant to Lender.

5.  Indemnification  of Lender.  Borrower  hereby  agrees to indemnify  and hold
Lender  harmless  from any and all Losses that Lender may incur under the Leases
or by reason of this  Assignment,  except for Losses incurred as a direct result
of Lender's willful  misconduct or gross negligence.  Nothing in this Assignment
shall be construed to bind Lender to the performance of any Lease  Provisions or
to otherwise impose any liability on Lender including,  without limitation,  any
liability under covenants of quiet enjoyment in the Leases in the event that any
Tenant shall have been joined as party  defendant in any action to foreclose the
Instrument and shall have been barred thereby of all right, title, interest, and
equity of redemption in the premises.  This Assignment imposes no liability upon
Lender for the operation and maintenance of the Property or for carrying out the
terms of any Lease  before  Lender has entered and taken actual  possession  and
complete  control of all  operations  of the  Property.  Any Losses  incurred by
Lender,  by reason of actual entry and taking possession under any Lease or this
Assignment  or in the  defense of any claims  shall,  at  Lender's  request,  be
reimbursed by Borrower. Such reimbursement shall include interest at the Default
Rate and Costs.  Lender may,  upon entry and taking of  possession,  collect the
Rents and apply them to reimbursement for any such items.

6.  Representations  and Warranties.  Borrower  represents and warrants that (a)
Borrower is the  absolute  owner of the  lessor's  interest  in the Leases,  (b)
Borrower has the right,  power and authority to assign,  transfer,  and set over
all of its right,  title and  interest in, to and under the Leases and Rents and
no other person  (other than the  respective  Tenants)  has any right,  title or
interest therein, (c) the Leases are valid and in full force and effect and have
not been materially modified,  amended or terminated,  nor have any of the terms
and  conditions of the Leases been waived,  except as stated in the Leases,  (d)
there are no  outstanding  assignments  or pledges  of the Leases or Rents,  (d)
there are no  outstanding  leasing  commissions  due under  the  Leases  for the
initial  term or for any  extensions,  renewals  or  expansions,  (f)  except as
disclosed  to  Lender in  writing,  there are no  existing  defaults  or, to any
material  extent,  any state of facts  which,  with the giving of notice  and/or
passage of time,  would  constitute a default  under the Leases by either party,
(g) no Tenant has any defense,  set-off or counterclaim  against Borrower to any
material  extent,  (h) each  Tenant is in  possession  and paying Rent and other
charges  as  provided  in its  Lease,  (i) no Rents  have been or will  later be
anticipated,  discounted, released, waived, compromised or otherwise discharged,
except in the  ordinary  course of  Borrower's  exercise  of prudent  management
decisions,  so long as such decisions are customary and reasonable for apartment
owners,  or as may be expressly  permitted by the Lease, (j) except as specified
in the Leases and shown on the rent roll delivered to Lender in connection  with
the funding of the Loan (the "RENT ROLL"),  there are no (i) unextinguished rent
concessions,  abatements  or other  inducements  relating  to the Leases or (ii)
options or other  rights to acquire any interest in the Property in favor of any
Tenant,  and (k) the Rent Roll  discloses all currently  existing  Leases and is
true, complete and accurate in all respects.

7. New Leases, Amendments and Terminations. Borrower may (a) terminate any Lease
that is in default, (b) enter into new, bona-fide, arm's length Leases (or renew
existing Leases)

provided each Lease  satisfies  the minimum  leasing  requirements  in Exhibit C
attached hereto and incorporated herein and is on Borrower's standard form lease
(approved by Lender) with no modifications  that increase the obligations of the
landlord,  and (c)  take  such  actions  as are  customary  and  reasonable  for
apartment  owners.  Upon Lender's  request and at Borrower's  expense,  Borrower
shall (i) promptly  deliver to Lender copies of all notices of default  Borrower
has sent to any Tenant,  (ii) enforce the Leases and all  remedies  available to

actions are reasonable and customary for apartment owners; or (f) modify, cancel
