         This Amendment No. 1 (this "Amendment") amends and supplements the
Schedule 13D filed on August 25, 1999 (the "Schedule 13D"), by ERP Operating
Limited Partnership ("ERP") with respect to the common stock, par value $.01 per
share (the "Common Shares"), of Lexford Residential Trust (the "Issuer"). Only
those items amended are reported herein. All capitalized terms used in this
Amendment and not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such
terms in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 3.           SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

                  Item 3 is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

                  On August 18, 1999, ERP and/or one of its consolidated
                  subsidiaries purchased an additional 12,600 Common Shares in
                  an open market transaction at a price of $19.9633 per Common
                  Share, exclusive of commission. On August 19, 1999, ERP and/or
                  one of its consolidated subsidiaries purchased an additional
                  4,100 Common Shares in an open market transaction at a price
                  of $20.00 per Common Share, exclusive of commission. The
                  aggregate amount of funds used in acquiring the additional
                  16,700 Common Shares reported herein was $333,537.58,
                  excluding commissions of $1,002. All funds used in acquiring
                  the Common Shares were obtained from the working capital of
                  ERP.

ITEM 5.           INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

                  Subsections (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 are hereby amended as
                  follows:

                  (a) and (b) To the best knowledge of ERP, there are
                  9,559,228 Common Shares outstanding, as reported in the
                  Issuer's quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended
                  June 30, 1999. As of the date hereof, the 879,100 Common
                  Shares owned by ERP represent approximately 9.2% of the Common
                  Shares outstanding. ERP, at the direction of its sole general
                  partner, EQR, has sole power to vote or to direct the vote of
                  the Common Stock owned by it, subject to the terms of the
                  Waiver, and the sole power to dispose or to direct the
                  disposition of the Common Stock owned by it.
