The decrease in FFO resulted from a decrease in stabilized NOI of 2.5%, driven by an increase in stabilized economic vacancy of 1.9% and an 8.4% increase in stabilized operating expenses. Average occupied monthly rent/suite increased to $938 at Q1/14 from $931 at Q4/13 and $888 a year earlier. Average occupancy, excluding Bell Street, was 96.4% for Q1/14, down 160bps from a year ago.

Cap Rate: 5.75% The REIT hopes to own a large and diverse portfolio where in no single asset is more than 15% of GBV. The REIT primarily focuses on the Ontario multi-residential real estate market and on mid-sized population markets targeting working and middle class, long term Total Return renters. InterRent is an active acquirer in this market with fragmented and aging ownership providing significant opportunities for 2012 2013 2014 - YTD strategic acquisitions.

However, REIT Management Mike McGahan, Chief Executive Officer and Trustee Curt Millar, Chief Financial Officer higher vacancy led to a decrease in SP NOI in Q1/14 of 2.5%. INCREASING DISTRIBUTION: The REIT in 2013 increased monthly distributions by two-thirds, highlighting management's confidence in the stability of their portfolio's cash-flows. AFFO payout at Q1/14 stood at ~62%, we believe this leaves management with enough scope to increase distributions in the near future and drive yields towards 5% from the current ~3.5% levels. www.interrentreit.com Earnings Summary Financial Metric 2013A 2014E 2015E Funds From Operations $0.35 $0.37 $0.44 Comparable Company Table YoY Change 16.7% 5.7% 18.9% FFO MULTIPLES 2013A 2014E 2015E InterRent 16.2x 15.3x 12.9x Adjusted FFO $0.30 $0.32 $0.38 Peer Group 1 13.2x 11.3x 10.8x YoY Change 20.0% 6.7% 18.8% AFFO MULTIPLES 2013A 2014E 2015E Debt Maturity & Liquidity Profile (At Q1/14) InterRent 18.9x 17.7x 14.9x Mln 2014 2015 2016 Peer Group 1 14.9x 13.0x 12.3x Mortgages (Avg.

InterRent is a growth oriented owner and operator of multi-residential properties within the provinces of Ontario and Quebec. The REIT's core markets are London, Sarnia, Ottawa and Hamilton. As of Q1/14 end, the REIT portfolio had 6,103 suites. STRONG BALANCE SHEET: The REIT's total liquidity as of Q1/14 is a comfortable ~C$17.3 million providing adequate financial flexibility and stability. 2

Q1/14 Results Q1/14 fully diluted (FD) funds from operations (FFO) was $0.07/unit, down 12.5% from $0.08/unit last year and below our estimate of $0.09/unit. The decrease in FFO/unit resulted from a decrease in stabilized NOI of 2.5%, driven by an increase in stabilized economic vacancy from 1.9% at Q1/13 to 3.8% at Q1/14 (excluding the un-rentable suites at the firm s Bell Street property) and an 8.4% increase in stabilized operating expenses. The shortfall to our estimates can be explained by the accelerated removal of rental income associated with the REIT s development of its Bell Street property located in Ottawa ahead of our expectations, slightly lower occupancy on the remaining stabilized portfolio and lower-than-anticipated operating margins due to a greater sensitivity to the impact of cold weather that we had anticipated. Additionally, during the quarter the REIT was impacted by a fire at one of its properties located in the Hamilton/Niagara area which resulted in the loss of 17 rental units for the period; while the properties were fully covered by insurance for loss and business interruption we believe it will be some time before the property will be generating cash flow. In the interim, losses are fully covered for a period of one year pursuant to the REIT s insurance coverage so the financial impact is expected to be nil. InterRent has successfully vacated all suites in the Bell Street property at quarter end, a necessary step in completing the redevelopment cost effectively and in a timely manner. We had assumed the removal of tenants would progress through Q2; the accelerated nature of this process should allow for the redevelopment and re-leasing to occur somewhat ahead of our expectations and result in the full impact of the improved cash flow early in 2015. We estimate the spread between in place rents and the renovated asking rents could be in excess of $200/ month, which could drive an incremental estimated $1 million annually to NOI at 97% occupancy. Average occupancy across the portfolio, excluding the 444 un-rentable suites at Bell Street and the 17 suites in Hamilton, in Q1/14 was 96.4% flat from Q4/13, while down 160 bps from last year. Average occupied monthly rent per suite increased to $938 in Q1/14, up from $888 a year earlier and $931 last quarter. Exhibit 1.

Average NOI margin was marginally down Y/Y at 53.1% in Q1/14 vs. 56.9% last year. While we anticipated some degradation in margins for the period on account of extreme weather, the impact was greater than we had anticipated and will, in all likelihood, carry on marginally in Q2. NOI increased on a dollar basis from $7.43 million in Q1/13 to $8.4 million in Q1/14 on higher revenues (+23% Y/Y); however, higher expenses offset these gains (+32.1%), contributing to margin erosion. The 2.5% decrease in stabilized NOI also had a deleterious effect. Acquisitions and Dispositions In Q1, the REIT closed its acquisition of an apartment property in Ottawa comprising 2 1-bedroom, 28 2-bedrooms and 24 garden homes, for $7 million (5.75% going in cap rate). The purchase will be financed through a conventional first mortgage. IIP also acquired a parcel of land adjacent to its Bell Street property for $2.5 million which is being used as a parking lot. Financial Position Debt/GBV assets was 48.7% at Q1/14, up marginally from 47.4% in Q4/13, and well below the REIT s limit of 75.0%. With a low cash balance ($0.3 million), the REIT s near term liquidity requirements will be entirely met from operating cash flows and undrawn credit facilities (assuming no issuances of equity or debt instruments) to which InterRent has available ~$17 million of combined capacity across two demand and two term facilities. InterRent has $112 million of debt maturing over the course of 2014 at an average rate of 2.65%, a cost we believe to approximate current rates on CMHC financing. We would expect not to see a material interest savings on the renewal of such debt as much of it is tied to redevelopment properties and is expected to be re-financed on similar short term durations until such properties are fully stabilized and re -financed under longer term conventional CMHC insured mortgages. EBITDA interest coverage was a strong 2.62x (rolling four quarters), down from 2.66x last year. The weighted-average interest rate on the REIT s debt was 3.30% at Q1/14, down slightly from 3.31% at Q4/13 and down 21 bps from 3.51% last year. The REIT s weighted average term to maturity on debt was approximately 4.5 years at Q1/14, down slightly from 4.7 years in Q4/13. CMHC backed debt dropped slightly from 68% in Q4/13 to 67% at quarter end. Investment Outlook InterRent continues to implement its strategy of re-working undermanaged assets and adding value through active management and capital improvement programs. The REIT is now well underway on its most significant repositioning project to date, the complete renovation of the ~440 unit Bell Street property located in Ottawa which is anticipated to be complete by late 2014 and expected to increase average monthly rental rates at the property from the low $800 level to in excess of $1,000/month, while at the same time increasing the assets operating margin as mechanical systems are updated and made more efficient. The REIT continues on its plan to implement individual hydro sub-metering across its portfolio which has the impact of significantly reducing utility expenses. As of March 31, infrastructure was in place in 4,033 of the REIT s suites to track hydro consumption in order to be able to pass on hydro charges directly to tenants. As a result of the initiative, 1,396 tenants currently pay 4

utilities direct to the local utility, 1,189 pay directly to the REIT and an additional 1,448 will be moved to hydro extra leases when the suites turn over. We continue to estimate that the annualized impact of the REIT s successful implementation of the sub-metering program will have an approximate $1 million impact to the REIT s bottom line upon completion. In addition, the REIT has approximately $1 million in applied above guideline rental increases (AGIs) that have yet to be booked, and should be realized over the next 12-36 months ($0.5 million in the remainder of 2014, $0.3 million in 2015 and $0.2 million in 2016). As we have alluded to in the past, major re-development of income producing properties tend to, all else being equal, result in a somewhat lumpy earnings profile, particularly when compared to fully stabilized portfolios, which tend to be more common in multi-family REITs. We anticipate the eventual completion of the work on the REIT s Bell Street property will mark the return to the acquisition market, as the REIT successfully places its largest re-positioning project to date behind it and seeks accretive uses of its available liquidity (D/GBV of 48.7%). We would expect that any near term (next 12 months) acquisitions could result in a short term drag on cash flows as the assets are repositioned, however the long term track record of management has been very successful in acquiring undermanaged assets, repositioning them and maximizing value. InterRent represents an attractive and defensive investment with a very strong balance sheet, stable and growing operating and financial results, and a discounted valuation relative to NAV, which we currently estimate at $6.25 per unit at a 5.75% cap rate (down from $6.50). Our 2014 FFO and AFFO estimates are reduced from $0.41 and $0.36/ unit respectively to $0.37 and $0.32 on slightly lower occupancy assumptions which are more in line with the portfolio s current stabilized occupancy. Carrying forward a modestly reduced occupancy assumption, we reduce our 2015 FFO/AFFO estimates to $0.44 and $0.38 respectively from $0.47 and $0.41 respectively. We continue to rate InterRent REIT Sector Performer, balancing the REIT s strong FFO/AFFO growth outlook and low leverage with an above -average valuation and below-average yield. Price Target Calculation At $5.66, InterRent trades at 15.3x our 2014E FFO, a ~9% discount to our $6.25/unit NAV estimate (at a 5.75% cap rate), and yields 3.5% (~62% 2014E AFFO payout ratio). Our 12- to 18-month price target is $6.25 (from $6.50) or approximately 16.5x 17.0x 2014E FFO. We continue to rate InterRent REIT Sector Performer. Key Risks To Price Target Risks include the potential for an unanticipated increase in interest rates, an unexpected deterioration in residential leasing conditions, and a diversion of investors capital flows away from high-yielding real estate equities toward other asset classes. 5
