We are obligated to comply with financial covenants in our indebtedness that could restrict our range of operating activities. The mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants, including limitations on our ability, to incur additional debt, without prior consent of the lender and other items. Failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the agreements and, in certain circumstances; our lenders may be entitled to accelerate our debt obligations. Defaults under our debt agreements could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.
A Massachusetts Rent Control Initiative may be on the ballot on November 3, 2026 in Massachusetts as an indirect initiated state statute. The ballot initiative would establish rent control in Massachusetts, limiting annual rent increases for residential units to the Consumer Price Index (CPI) or 5%, whichever is lower. The annual rent increase limit would be in place whether or not there was a change in tenancy in the rental unit. The initiative states that the rent amount in place on January 31, 2026, would be the base rent on which annual increases are calculated; if the unit was vacant on that date, the most previously used rental price would serve as the base rent. The rent increase limit would exempt owner -occupied buildings with fewer than 5 units; facilities where rent is subject to regulation by other public authorities (though not including those occupied by a tenant with a mobile housing voucher) dwelling units rented primarily to transient guests for less than 14 consecutive days; facilities operated only for educational, religious, or nonprofit purposes; and dwelling units with a date of first occupancy that is less than 10 years old. Our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows, as well as our ability to pay dividends, could be adversely affected over time if voters were to pass such an initiative.
