The following discussion analyzes the financial condition and results of
operations of both MAA and the Operating Partnership, of which MAA is the sole
general partner and in which MAA owned a 96.6% interest as of March 31, 2020.
MAA conducts all of its business through the Operating Partnership and its
various subsidiaries. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the
condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included elsewhere
in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

MAA, an S&P 500 company, is a multifamily-focused, self-administered and
self-managed real estate investment trust, or REIT. We own, operate, acquire and
selectively develop apartment communities primarily located in the Southeast,
Southwest and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.  As of March 31, 2020,
we owned and operated 299 apartment communities through the Operating
Partnership and its subsidiaries, and we had an ownership interest in one
apartment community through an unconsolidated real estate joint venture and had
seven development communities under construction. In addition, as of March 31,
2020, we owned four commercial properties, and 32 of our apartment communities
included retail components. Our apartment communities and commercial properties
are located across 16 states and the District of Columbia.

We report in two segments, Same Store and Non-Same Store and Other. Our Same
Store segment represents those apartment communities that have been owned and
stabilized for at least 12 months as of the first day of the calendar year. Our
Non-Same Store and Other segment includes recently acquired communities,
communities being developed or in lease-up, communities undergoing extensive
renovations, communities identified for disposition and communities that have
incurred a significant casualty loss. Also included in our Non-Same Store and
Other segment are non-multifamily activities. Additional information regarding
the composition of our segments is included in Note 11 to the condensed
consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on
Form 10-Q.

Overview of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2020



For the three months ended March 31, 2020, net income available for MAA common
shareholders was $35.7 million as compared to $62.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019. Results for the three months ended March 31, 2020 included
$27.6 million of expense related to the fair value adjustment of the embedded
derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares. Results for the three months
ended March 31, 2019 included $0.5 million of expense related to the adjustment
of the embedded derivative. Revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020
increased 4.2% as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, driven by a
4.2% increase in our Same Store segment and a 4.4% increase in our Non-Same
Store and Other segment. Property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and
amortization, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 increased by 2.5% as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, driven by a 3.2% increase in
our Same Store segment. The drivers of these increases are discussed below in
the "Results of Operations" section.

Recent Developments - COVID-19



In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized COVID-19 as a
pandemic, and the President of the United States proclaimed that the COVID-19
outbreak in the United States constitutes a national emergency. Extraordinary
actions have been taken by federal, state and local governmental authorities to
combat the spread of COVID-19, including issuance of "stay-at-home" directives
and similar mandates for many individuals to substantially restrict daily
activities and for many businesses to curtail or cease normal operations. These
measures, while intended to protect human life, have led to significantly
reduced economic activity and a surge in unemployment throughout the United
States, including the markets where our properties are located, and there could
be a sustained period of economic slowdown, the severity of which is uncertain.

In March 2020, we began to take steps to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Although closed to the public, our on-site property leasing offices have been
open on a virtual basis, operating with full staff to serve existing residents
and prospective new customers. In addition, to assist our residents who have
lost wages or compensation due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have offered these
residents an amendment to their lease that provides payment flexibility of up to
60 days for April and May 2020 rent, waives late fees and interest charges under
the lease, and reflects our agreement not to pursue remedies for nonpayment of
April and May 2020 rent under the lease.

Our balance sheet remains very strong, with low leverage, significant availability from our unsecured revolving credit facility and limited near-term debt maturities and funding obligations.

Trends

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we continued to be favorably
impacted by in-place rents and the contribution to average effective rent per
unit growth. The average effective rent per unit for our Same Store portfolio
continued to increase, up 4.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2020 as
compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. Average effective rent per
unit represents the average of gross rent amounts, after the effect of leasing
concessions, for occupied apartment units plus prevalent market rates asked for
unoccupied apartment units, divided by the total number of units. Leasing
concessions represent discounts to the current market rate. We believe average
effective rent per unit is a helpful measurement in evaluating average pricing;
however, it does not represent actual rental revenue collected per unit.

In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2020, we maintained strong
physical occupancy. Average physical occupancy for our Same Store portfolio was
95.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which compares to average
physical occupancy of 95.9% achieved during the three months ended March 31,
2019. Average physical occupancy is a measurement of the total number of our
apartment units that are occupied by residents, and it represents the average of
the daily physical occupancy for the period.

An important part of our portfolio strategy is to maintain diversity of markets,
submarkets, product types and price points in the Southeast, Southwest and
Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States. This diversity tends to mitigate
exposure to economic issues in any one geographic market or area. We believe
that a well-balanced portfolio, including inner loop, suburban and
downtown/central business district locations, with various monthly rent price
points, will perform well in "up" cycles as well as weather "down" cycles
better. Through our investment in 36 defined markets, we are diversified across
markets, urban and suburban submarkets, and a variety of product types and
monthly rent pricing points.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to disrupt the United States economy and we
cannot predict when an economic recovery will occur. Demand for apartments is
primarily driven by general economic conditions in our markets and is
particularly correlated to job growth. The "stay-at-home" orders and social
distancing implemented in response to the pandemic continue to drive
unemployment higher and also limit the number of people looking to change their
current living situation. We expect the current environment to contribute to
lower rent collections than normal in the second quarter of 2020 and also reduce
the demand for apartments, likely driving rents on new leases lower than rents
in place as of the end of the first quarter. Current elevated supply levels
could further impact rent growth for our portfolio, particularly for apartment
communities located in urban submarkets. Properties in suburban submarkets have
been impacted somewhat less by supply, primarily because less new development
has occurred in those submarkets.

Our focus during this challenging time is on working with residents who have
been financially impacted by the pandemic on rent payment flexibility. At a
portfolio level, our focus is on using our pricing system to maintain strong
occupancy. As noted above, average physical occupancy for our Same Store
portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was 95.7%, which we believe
positions us well to manage through the current environment.

Markets throughout the country have been impacted differently by the pandemic
with certain markets expected to be in some level of "stay-at-home" for longer
periods of time than other markets. As we move through this uncertain time, we
believe that our portfolio strategy of maintaining a diversity of markets,
submarkets, product types, and price points will serve the company better in
this environment than a more concentrated portfolio profile.

While access to the financial markets has been disrupted by the COVID-19
pandemic, we believe we currently have the ability to raise capital through the
debt and equity markets. However, a prolonged disruption of the markets or a
decline in credit and financing conditions could negatively impact our ability
to access capital necessary to fund our operations or refinance maturing debt.

Results of Operations



For the three months ended March 31, 2020, we achieved net income available for
MAA common shareholders of $35.7 million, a 43.1% decrease as compared to the
three months ended March 31, 2019, and total revenue growth of $16.9 million,
representing a 4.2% increase in property revenues as compared to the three
months ended March 31, 2019. The following discussion describes the primary
drivers of the decrease in net income available for MAA common shareholders for
the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2019.

Property Revenues

The following table reflects our property revenues by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands):





                              Three months ended March 31,
                                2020                 2019          Increase       % Increase
Same Store                 $      392,362       $      376,531     $  15,831              4.2 %
Non-Same Store and Other           25,736               24,647         1,089              4.4 %
Total                      $      418,098       $      401,178     $  16,920              4.2 %


                                                                              28

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------






The increase in property revenues for our Same Store segment for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019
was the primary driver of total property revenue growth. The Same Store segment
generated a 4.2% increase in revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2020,
primarily a result of average effective rent per unit growth of 4.2% as compared
to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in property revenues from
the Non-Same Store and Other segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020
as compared to three months ended March 31, 2019 was primarily the result of
continued lease-up of completed development communities.

Property Operating Expenses



Property operating expenses include costs for property personnel, building
repairs and maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, utilities, landscaping
and other operating expenses. The following table reflects our property
operating expenses by segment for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019
(dollars in thousands):



                         Three months ended March 31,
                          2020                  2019              Increase           % Increase
Same Store           $       143,075       $       138,693     $         4,382                 3.2 %
Non-Same Store and
Other                         10,097                10,684                (587 )              (5.5 )%
Total                $       153,172       $       149,377     $         3,795                 2.5 %




The increase in property operating expenses for our Same Store segment for the
three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2019 was primarily driven by increases in real estate tax expense of
$1.8 million.

Depreciation and Amortization



Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020
was $126.4 million, an increase of $3.6 million as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by the recognition of
depreciation expense associated with our development and redevelopment
activities made after March 31, 2019 in the normal course of business through
March 31, 2020.

Other Income and Expenses

Property management expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2020 were
$14.6 million, an increase of $0.8 million as compared to the three months ended
March 31, 2019. General and administrative expenses for the three months ended
March 31, 2020 were $13.3 million, an increase of $0.9 million as compared to
the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $43.5 million, a
decrease of $2.2 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The decrease was primarily due to decreased average daily debt outstanding as
well as an increase in capitalized interest during the three months ended
March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The
increase in the capitalized interest expense was due to an increase in the
number of development projects.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we sold a land parcel resulting in
a $9.0 million gain on sale of non-depreciable assets. No land parcels were sold
during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Other non-operating expense (income) for the three months ended March 31, 2020
was $28.5 million, an increase of $28.7 million as compared to the three months
ended March 31, 2019. The increase was primarily driven by $27.6 million of
expense related to the fair value adjustment of the embedded derivative in the
MAA Series I preferred shares during the three months ended March 31, 2020,
compared to the recognition of $0.5 million of expense related to the adjustment
of the embedded derivative during the three months ended March 31, 2019. During
the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized an immaterial amount of
COVID-19 related expenses in other non-operating expense (income).

Funds from Operations and Core Funds from Operations



Funds from operations, or FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, represents net
income available for MAA common shareholders (computed in accordance with the
United States generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP) excluding gains
or losses on disposition of operating properties and asset impairment, plus
depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, net income attributable to
noncontrolling interests and adjustments for joint ventures. Because
noncontrolling interest is added back, FFO, when used in this Quarterly Report
on Form 10-Q, represents FFO attributable to the Company.

                                                                            

29

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income available for MAA
common stockholders or any other GAAP measurement, as an indicator of operating
performance or as an alternative to cash flow from operating, investing, and
financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Management believes that FFO is
helpful to investors in understanding our operating performance, primarily
because its calculation excludes depreciation and amortization expense on real
estate assets. We believe that GAAP historical cost depreciation of real estate
assets is generally not correlated with changes in the value of those assets,
whose value does not diminish predictably over time, as historical cost
depreciation implies. While our calculation of FFO is in accordance with the
National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts', or NAREIT's, definition,
it may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other REITs
and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Core FFO represents FFO as adjusted for items that are not considered part of
our core business operations such as adjustments related to the fair value of
the embedded derivative in the MAA Series I preferred shares, loss or gain on
sale of non-depreciable assets, adjustments for gains or losses from
unconsolidated limited partnerships, net casualty gain or loss, loss or gain on
debt extinguishment, non-routine legal costs and settlements, COVID-19 related
costs and mark-to-market debt adjustments. While our definition of Core FFO may
be similar to others in the industry, our methodology for calculating Core FFO
may differ from that utilized by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be
comparable to such other REITs. Core FFO should not be considered as an
alternative to Net income available for MAA common shareholders as an indicator
of operating performance. We believe that Core FFO is helpful in understanding
our core operating performance between periods in that it removes certain items
that by their nature are not comparable over periods and therefore tend to
obscure actual operating performance.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income available for MAA
common shareholders to FFO and Core FFO for the three months ended March 31,
2020 and 2019, as we believe net income available for MAA common shareholders is
the most directly comparable GAAP measure (dollars in thousands):

Core FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $191.2 million, an
increase of $13.9 million as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019,
primarily as a result of an increase in property revenues of $16.9 million and
decreased interest expense of $2.2 million. The increases to Core FFO were
offset by increases in property operating expenses, excluding depreciation and
amortization, of $3.8 million, general and administrative expenses of $0.9
million and property management expenses of $0.8 million.

Liquidity and Capital Resources



Our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities, as well as
general economic and market conditions, are the principal factors affecting our
liquidity and capital resources.

Operating Activities



Net cash provided by operating activities was $160.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $154.7 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2019. The increase in operating cash flows was primarily driven
by our operating performance, partially offset by the timing of cash payments.

                                                                              30

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Investing Activities



Net cash used in investing activities was $90.0 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $52.9 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2019. The primary drivers of the change were as follows (dollars in
thousands):



                                          Primary drivers of cash (outflow) inflow
                                                                                               Increase

The decrease in cash outflows for purchases of real estate and other assets was
driven by the acquisition activity during the three months ended March 31, 2020
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The increase in cash
outflows for capital improvements, development and other was primarily driven by
increased development capital spend during the three months ended March 31, 2020
as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019. The decrease in cash
inflows related to proceeds from disposition of real estate assets was primarily
due to the nature of the real estate assets sold during the three months ended
March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Financing Activities



Net cash used in financing activities was $92.1 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2020 as compared to $94.1 million for the three months ended
March 31, 2019. The primary drivers of the change were as follows (dollars in

The increase in cash inflows related to the net change in revolving credit
facility resulted from the increase in net borrowings of $100.0 million during
the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the decrease in net
borrowings of $465.0 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019. The
increase in cash outflows related to the net change in commercial paper resulted
from the decrease in net borrowings of $70.0 million on our unsecured commercial
paper program during the three months ended March 31, 2020; there was no
commercial paper program in place during the three months ended March 31, 2019.
The decrease in cash inflows related to proceeds from notes payable primarily
resulted from the issuance of $300.0 million of senior unsecured notes and
$191.3 million of secured property mortgages during the three months ended
March 31, 2019; no notes were issued during the three months ended March 31,
2020. The increase in cash outflows from dividends paid on common shares
primarily resulted from the increase in the dividend rate to $1.00 per share
during the three months ended March 31, 2020, as compared to the dividend rate
of $0.96 per share during the three months ended March 31, 2019.

Equity



As of March 31, 2020, MAA owned 114,279,662 OP Units, comprising a 96.6% limited
partnership interest in MAALP, while the remaining 4,058,657 outstanding OP
Units were held by limited partners of MAALP other than MAA. Holders of OP Units
(other than MAA) may require us to redeem their OP Units from time to time, in
which case MAA may, at its option, pay the redemption price either in cash (in
an amount per OP Unit equal, in general, to the average closing price of MAA's
common stock on the NYSE over a specified period prior to the redemption date)
or by delivering one share of MAA's common stock (subject to adjustment under
specified circumstances) for each OP Unit so redeemed. In addition, MAA has
registered under the Securities Act 4,058,657 shares of its common stock that,
as of March 31, 2020, were issuable upon redemption of OP Units, in order for
those shares to be sold freely in the public markets.

We have entered into separate distribution agreements with each of J.P. Morgan
Securities LLC, BMO Capital Markets Corp. and KeyBanc Capital Markets Inc. to
establish an ATM program allowing MAA to sell shares of its common stock from
time to time into the existing market at current market prices or through
negotiated transactions.  Under the ATM program, MAA has the authority to issue
up to an aggregate of 4.0 million shares of its common stock, at such times to
be determined by MAA.  The ATM program currently has a maturity of September 28,
2021.  MAA has no obligation to issue shares through the ATM program.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, MAA did not sell any shares of common stock under its ATM program. As of March 31, 2020, there were 3.9 million shares remaining under the ATM program.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility & Commercial Paper



In May 2019, MAALP closed on a $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility
with a syndicate of banks led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, or
Wells Fargo, and fourteen other banks, which we refer to as the Credit
Facility. The Credit Facility replaced our previous unsecured revolving credit
facility and includes an expansion option up to $1.5 billion. The Credit
Facility bears an interest rate of LIBOR, plus a spread of 0.75% to 1.45% based
on an investment grade pricing grid. The Credit Facility matures in May 2023
with an option to extend for two additional six-month periods. As of March 31,
2020, there was $100.0 million outstanding under the Credit Facility, while $2.7
million of capacity was being used to support outstanding letters of credit. The
Credit Facility serves as our primary source of short-term liquidity.

In May 2019, MAALP established an unsecured commercial paper program, whereby it
can issue unsecured commercial paper notes with varying maturities not to exceed
397 days up to a maximum aggregate amount outstanding of $500.0 million. As of
March 31, 2020, there were no borrowings outstanding under the commercial paper
program.

Unsecured Senior Notes

As of March 31, 2020, we had $3.3 billion of publicly issued unsecured senior notes outstanding.

As of March 31, 2020, we also had $222.0 million of privately placed unsecured senior notes outstanding.



Unsecured Term Loan

As of March 31, 2020, we maintained one unsecured term loan with a syndicate of
banks, led by Wells Fargo. The term loan has a balance of $300.0 million,
matures in March 2022, and has a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread
of 0.90% to 1.75% based on the Company's credit ratings. As of March 31, 2020,
this loan was bearing interest at a rate of one month LIBOR plus 0.95%.

Secured Property Mortgages



We maintain secured property mortgages with the Federal National Mortgage
Association, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation and various life
insurance companies. These mortgages are usually fixed rate and can range from
five to 30 years in maturity. As of March 31, 2020, we had $628.1 million of
secured property mortgages with a weighted average interest rate of 4.50%.

For more information regarding our debt capital resources, see Note 6 to the
condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, we had an ownership interest in a limited liability company, which owns one apartment community comprised of 269 units, located in Washington, D.C. We also had ownership interests in two limited partnerships as of March 31, 2020. Our interests in these investments are unconsolidated and are recorded using the equity method as we do not have a controlling interest.



As of March 31, 2020 and 2019, we did not have any relationships, including
those with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, for the purpose of
facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or
limited purposes. In addition, we do not engage in trading activities involving
non-exchange traded contracts. As such, we are not materially exposed to

                                                                            

33

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------




any financing, liquidity, market or credit risk that could arise if we had
engaged in such relationships. We do not have any relationships or transactions
with persons or entities that derive benefits from their non-independent
relationships with us or our related parties other than those disclosed in Note
12 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on
February 20, 2020.

Insurance



We carry comprehensive general liability coverage on our apartment communities,
with limits of liability we believe are customary within the multifamily
apartment industry, to insure against liability claims and related defense
costs. We also maintain insurance against the risk of direct physical damage to
reimburse us on a replacement cost basis for costs incurred to repair or rebuild
any property, including loss of rental income during the reconstruction period.

We will renegotiate our insurance programs effective July 1, 2020. We believe
that the current property and casualty insurance program in place provides
appropriate insurance coverage for financial protection against insurable risks
such that any insurable loss experienced that can be reasonably anticipated
would not have a significant impact on our liquidity, financial position or
results of operations.

Inflation



Our resident leases at our apartment communities allow, at the time of renewal,
for adjustments in the rent payable thereunder, and thus may enable us to seek
rent increases. The majority of our leases are for one year or less. The
short-term nature of these leases generally serves to reduce our risk to adverse
effects of inflation.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates



Please refer to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
2019, filed with the SEC on February 20, 2020, for discussions of our critical
accounting policies. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, there were no
material changes to these policies. For more information on recent accounting
pronouncements that could have a material impact on our condensed consolidated
financial statements see Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial
statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
