| Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Commitments and Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company is periodically subject to claims or litigation in the ordinary course of business, including claims generated from business conducted by tenants on real estate owned by the Company. In these instances, the Company is typically indemnified by the tenant against any losses that might be suffered, and the Company and/or the tenant are insured against such claims. In 2015, Haggen Holdings, LLC and a number of its affiliates, including Haggen Operations Holdings, LLC ("Haggen"), filed petitions for bankruptcy. At the time of the filing, Haggen leased 20 properties from a subsidiary of the Company under a master lease. The Company and Haggen restructured the master lease in an initial settlement agreement with approved claims of $21.0 million. In 2016, the Company entered into an additional settlement agreement with Haggen and Albertsons, LLC for $3.4 million and $3.0 million, respectively. Prior to 2018, the Company collected $5.5 million of the total claims from both settlement agreements. In December 2018, the Company received final settlement proceeds of $19.7 million and no other claims related to the Haggen Settlement remain outstanding. $0.6 million of the proceeds relieved accruals related to Haggen, and the remaining $19.1 million of proceeds is reflected in other income on the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. At December 31, 2018, there were no outstanding claims against the Company that are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. At December 31, 2018, the Company had commitments totaling $80.7 million, of which $47.7 million relates to acquisitions, with the remainder to fund improvements on properties the Company currently owns. Commitments related to acquisitions contain standard cancellation clauses contingent on the results of due diligence. $79.3 million of these commitments is expected to be funded during fiscal year 2019, with the remainder to be funded by 2021. In addition, the Company is contingently liable for $5.7 million of debt owed by one of its former tenants until the maturity of the debt on March 15, 2022 and is indemnified by that former tenant for any payments the Company may be required to make on such debt. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company recorded an additional accrual related to this guarantee of $5.3 million, reflected as other expense in the consolidated statement of operations. As a result, the Company has accrued the full $5.7 million liability in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2018. The Company estimates future costs for known environmental remediation requirements when it is probable that the Company has incurred a liability and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. The Company considers various factors when estimating its environmental liabilities, and adjustments are made when additional information becomes available that affects the estimated costs to study or remediate any environmental issues. When only a wide range of estimated amounts can be reasonably established and no other amount within the range is better than another, the low end of the range is recorded in the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2018, no accruals have been made. The Company leases its current corporate office space and certain operating equipment under non-cancelable agreements from unrelated third parties. Total rental expense included in general and administrative expense amounted to $0.9 million, $0.9 million and $1.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Company's lease of its current corporate office space has an initial term that expires on January 31, 2027 and is renewable at the Company's option for two additional periods of five years each after the initial term. The Company is also a lessee under seven long-term, non-cancelable ground leases under which it is obligated to pay monthly rent as of December 31, 2018. Total rental expense included in property costs, including discontinued operations, amounted to $0.9 million, $1.5 million and $1.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Certain ground lease rental expenses are reimbursed by unrelated third parties, and the corresponding rental revenue is recorded in rental income on the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The Company’s minimum aggregate rental commitments under all non-cancelable operating leases as of December 31, 2018 are as follows (in thousands):
