Real Estate Leases REAL ESTATE LEASES
Lessor Accounting
The Company’s properties are generally leased pursuant to non-cancelable, fixed-term operating leases with expiration dates through 2046. The Company’s leases generally require the lessee to pay minimum rent, with fixed rent renewal terms or increases based on a Consumer Price Index and may also include additional rent, which may include the reimbursement of taxes (including property taxes), insurance, maintenance and other operating costs associated with the leased property. Some leases also allow the lessee to renew or extend their lease term or in some cases terminate their lease, based on conditions provided in the lease.

Future minimum lease payments under the non-cancelable operating leases due to the Company for the years ending December 31, as of March 31, 2026, are as follows (in thousands):
2026 (nine months ending December 31)$82,886

Rental income is recognized as earned over the life of the lease agreement on a straight-line basis when collection of rental payments over the term of the lease is probable. Straight-line rent increased rental income by approximately $0.8 million and $0.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025.

Purchase Option Provisions
Certain of the Company's leases provide the lessee with a purchase option or a right of first refusal to purchase the leased property. The purchase option provisions generally allow the lessee to purchase the leased property at fair value or at an amount greater than the Company's gross investment in the leased property at the time of the purchase.
At March 31, 2026, the Company had an aggregate gross investment of approximately $42.0 million in 13 real estate properties with purchase options exercisable at March 31, 2026 that had not been exercised.
