Independence Realty Trust Provides Business Update in Advance of Participating in Nareit’s REITworld 2022 Annual Conference

Ella Neyland to Depart IRT as Chief Operating Officer and Board Member

Independence Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: IRT) (“IRT”) today announced that Scott Schaeffer, IRT’s Chairman and CEO, and Jim Sebra, IRT’s CFO are scheduled to host meetings with investors and analysts at Nareit’s REITworld 2022 Annual Conference on November 15-16 at the Marriott Marquis in San Francisco. In advance of these upcoming meetings, IRT has provided an operating update.

“Our portfolio continues to benefit from our high exposure to the attractive sunbelt region,” said Scott Schaeffer. “Through November 7, 2022, we achieved a fourth quarter-to-date average rental rate increase of 7.7% on a blended basis, as we delivered higher rent growth for both new leases and renewals. We remain on track to achieve our recently raised full year 2022 Core FFO per share guidance, which represents 28% year-over-year growth at the midpoint.”
