EQUITY RESIDENTIAL PROPERTIES TRUST
DISTRIBUTION REINVESTMENT AND SHARE PURCHASE PLAN
------------------------
This prospectus supplement contains an amendment and restatement to the plan
updating the "Partial Dividend Reinvestment" and "Optional Cash Payments Only"
participation options of the plan. Under the revised options, you are able to
direct the reinvestment of dividends on all, a portion or none of the shares
held in the plan. The new participation options (which replace the descriptions
of the Partial Dividend Reinvestment and Optional Cash Payments Only options as
set forth in Questions 7 and 9 of the plan contained in the prospectus dated
December 18, 1997) are as follows:
If the "Partial Dividend Reinvestment" option is elected, the Plan
Administrator will apply the cash dividends on a specified number of
your Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Units to purchase additional
Common Shares. The Plan Administrator will pay you cash dividends on the
remaining Common Shares, Preferred Shares or Units, when and if declared
by the board of trustees. You may also invest by making optional cash
payments of at least $250 per payment up to a maximum of $5,000 per
month.
If the "Optional Cash Payments Only" option is elected, the Plan
Administrator will pay you the cash dividends on all of your Common
Shares, Preferred Shares and Units. You may make optional cash payments
of at least $250 per payment up to a maximum of $5,000 per month in
order to invest in additional Common Shares.
This prospectus supplement also contains a revised Schedule A to the
prospectus dated December 18, 1997. The revised Schedule A to the prospectus
restates in its entirety the Schedule A previously included as part of the
prospectus. The revised Schedule A sets forth the expected dates relating to
optional cash payments and common share distribution reinvestments under the
plan for 2000, 2001 and 2002, as such dates are described in the prospectus.
The date of this Prospectus Supplement is October 6, 2000
