- Net Rent Loss: Contract rents lost from move-outs ($67.5 million) exceeded contract rents gained from move-ins ($49.4 million), indicating a net reduction in contracted revenue for the period.
- Stable Occupancy: Despite the pressure on new rental rates, square foot occupancy remained relatively stable, declining only 0.1% to 92.8%.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
The filing references an investor presentation intended for an upcoming conference but does not explicitly state updated financial guidance or specific outlook figures within the text of this 8-K.

Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the full text of the "Investor Presentation" referenced in Item 7.01 for updated full-year guidance.
- Review the Q1 2024 Form 10-Q for consolidated financial results (revenue, net income, cash flow) as this 8-K only covers operating metrics.
- Assess the sustainability of the 15.6% decline in new move-in rates and its potential impact on future revenue growth.
- Monitor the trend of "Contract Rents Lost" exceeding "Contract Rents Gained" to evaluate revenue leakage.
