| COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation. Centerspace is involved in various lawsuits arising in the normal course of business and believes that such matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Environmental Matters. Under various federal, state, and local laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal of, or remediation of, certain hazardous or toxic substances in, on, around, or under the property. While the Company currently has no knowledge of any material violation of environmental laws, ordinances, or regulations at any of the properties, there can be no assurance that areas of contamination will not be identified at any of its properties or that changes in environmental laws, regulations, or cleanup requirements would not result in material costs. In connection with the sale of a Minneapolis apartment community during the three months ended September 30, 2026, the Company deposited $800,000 into escrow to fund potential vapor intrusion mitigation costs. Initial environmental testing did not indicate that remediation was required; however, a second round of testing is required during the 2026–2027 heating season. As of September 30, 2026, the Company concluded that a remediation liability was not probable and, accordingly, no remediation liability was recognized. The Company is currently unable to reasonably estimate the amount, if any, of potential mitigation costs. Under the escrow agreement, the Company’s responsibility for such costs is limited to the amounts available in the escrow fund, and any costs in excess of the escrow fund are the responsibility of the purchaser. Limitations on Taxable Dispositions. Sixteen properties, consisting of approximately 3,796 apartment homes, are subject to limitations on taxable dispositions under agreements entered into with certain sellers or contributors of the properties and are effective for varying periods. Centerspace does not believe that the agreements materially affect the conduct of its business or its decisions whether to dispose of these properties during the limitation period because it generally holds these and other properties for investment purposes rather than for sale. In addition, where the Company deems it to be in the shareholders’ best interests to dispose of such properties, it generally seeks to structure sales of such properties as tax-deferred transactions under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code. Otherwise, the Company may be required to provide tax indemnification payments to the parties to these agreements. Unfunded Commitments. As of September 30, 2026, Centerspace had unfunded commitments of $598,000 in two real estate technology venture funds.
