                                  SCHEDULE 13D

ITEM 1. SECURITY AND ISSUER.

        (a)  Title of the class of equity securities: Common Stock, no par
             value.

        (b)  Name of Issuer: Associated Estates Realty Corporation, an Ohio
             corporation.

        (c)  Issuer's Principal Executive Office: 5025 Swetland Court, Richmond
             Heights, Ohio 44143-1467.

ITEM 2. IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

        This statement is being filed by MIG Residential REIT, Inc., a Maryland
corporation (the "Company"). The Company is a real estate investment trust
which, through eight wholly-owned subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries"), owned eight
multi-family apartment projects (the "Properties") that were sold to Associated
Estates Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation ("AERC"), on June 30, 1998 in
consideration of approximately $108,500,000 in cash and common stock of AERC
pursuant to purchase agreements dated January 28, 1998. Approximately
$96,414,000 of the purchase price was paid in shares of AERC's no par value
common stock (the "AERC Common Stock").

        The Subsidiaries consist of the following: (1) MIG Hampton Corporation,
a Maryland corporation; (2) MIG Peachtree Corporation, a Maryland corporation;
(3) MIG Desert Oasis Corporation, a California Corporation; (4) MIG Fleetwood
Ltd, a Texas limited partnership; (5) MIG 20th & Campbell Corporation, a Arizona
corporation; (6) MIG REIT/ Annen Woods, Inc., a Florida corporation; (7) MIG
REIT/ Morgan Place, Inc., a Florida corporation; and (8) MIG REIT Falls, L.C.C.,
a North Carolina limited liability company.

        Under the Exchange Act, each of the Subsidiaries is deemed to be
controlled by the Company. The Company's principal business address and
principal office address is MIG Residential REIT, Inc., 250 Australian Avenue,
South, Suite 400, West Palm Beach, Florida 33401. During the past five years,
the Company has not been convicted in any criminal proceeding, nor has the
Company been party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of
competent jurisdiction.

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

        The shares of AERC Common Stock covered by this Schedule 13D were issued
to the Subsidiaries in partial payment of the purchase price for the Properties.
Under the purchase agreements, a value of $18.76 per share (based on a trailing
average of the closing prices of AERC's Common Stock on the New York Stock
Exchange for a 20 day period preceding the June 30, 1998 closing), was used in
arriving at the number of shares issued on account of the stock portion of the
purchase price. The number of shares issued to each of the Subsidiaries was as
follows:

ITEM 4. PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

        The shares of AERC Common Stock were acquired by the Subsidiaries in
partial consideration for the sale of the Properties.

        With respect to subsection (a) of this Item 4, neither the Company nor
any of the Subsidiaries presently has any plans that relate to or would result
in the acquisition by any person of additional securities of AERC. Presently,
the Company and the Subsidiaries intend to dissolve and liquidate in the near
future. In connection therewith, it is anticipated that all or substantially all
of the shares of AERC Common Stock will be distributed in liquidation to the
Company's Class A Stockholders in proportion to their stock ownership in the
Company. The names, addresses, and identities of the Company's Class A
Stockholders, and their percentage ownership of the Company's Class A shares
(and hence the percentage of AERC Common Stock each will receive upon
liquidation of the Company and the Subsidiaries) are as follows:

                                  EXHIBIT NO. 1

                     PLAN OF LIQUIDATION AND DISSOLUTION OF
                           MIG RESIDENTIAL REIT, INC.
                               DATED JUNE 22, 1998

        This Dissolution Plan of Liquidation and Dissolution (the "Dissolution
Plan") of MIG Residential REIT, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), is
intended to accomplish the complete liquidation and dissolution of the Company
in accordance with the Maryland General Corporation Law and Section 331 of the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), as follows:

        1. The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted this Dissolution
Plan and called a meeting of the Company's stockholders (the "Stockholders") to
take action on this Dissolution Plan. If at said meeting of the Stockholders a
majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of the Company's Class A
Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Class A Common Stock"), and the
Company's Class B Common Stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Class B Common
Stock" and together with the Class A Common Stock, the "Common Stock"), voting
as a single class, votes for the adoption of this Dissolution Plan, the
Dissolution Plan shall constitute the adopted Dissolution Plan of the Company as
of the date on which such Stockholder approval is obtained (the "Adoption
Date").

        2. This Dissolution Plan is contingent upon the consummation of the
asset sale ("Asset Sales") by which eight of the Company's subsidiaries are to
sell multi-family apartment properties to Associated Estates Realty Corporation
("AERC") in consideration for cash and stock pursuant to the Purchase Agreements
dated January 28, 1998. In the event that the Asset Sales are not consummated,
this Dissolution Plan shall be null and void.

        3. From and after the Adoption Date and the closing of the Asset Sales,
the Company shall complete the following corporate actions:

               (a) The Company shall notify the Class B Stockholders that the
        Company intends to redeem (the "Redemption") all of the outstanding
        shares of the Class B Common Stock, by payment in cash for each
        outstanding share of Class B Common Stock of an amount equal to its net
        asset value per share, as determined by the Board of Directors. The
        Board of Directors adopted resolutions in accordance with Article V,
        Section (G) 2(d) of the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the
        "Articles"), pursuant to which the Company will effect the Redemption.

               (b) The officers of the Company shall, at such time as the Board
        of Directors, in its absolute discretion, deems it necessary,
        appropriate or desirable, obtain any certificates required from the
        Maryland tax authorities, and on or after obtaining such certificates,
        the Company shall file with the Secretary of State of the State of
        Maryland articles of dissolution (the "Articles of Dissolution") in
        accordance with Sections 3-406 and 3-407 of the Maryland General
        Corporation Law. Adoption of this Dissolution Plan by a majority of the
        voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall constitute
        the approval of the Stockholders of any such filing of the Articles of
        Dissolution as their act and as a part hereof as if herein written.

               (c) After the Articles of Dissolution have been accepted by the
        Department of Assessments and Taxation, the Company shall not engage in
        any business activities except to the 


                                       8

        extent necessary for preserving the values of its assets, winding up its
        business and affairs, and distributing its assets in accordance with
        this Dissolution Plan.

               (d) The Company shall collect, sell exchange or otherwise dispose
        of all its property and assets, other than the AERC Shares, as defined
        below, in one or more transactions, upon such terms and conditions and
        for such consideration, which may consist in whole or in part of money
        or other property, as the Board of Directors, in its absolute
        discretion, deems expedient and in the best interests of the Company and
        the holders of the Class A Common Stock (the "Class A Stockholders"). In
        connection with such collection, sale, exchange and other disposition,
        the Company shall marshal its assets and collect or make provision for
        the collection of all accounts receivable, debts and claims owing to the
        Company.

               (e) The Company shall pay or, as determined by the Board of
        Directors, make reasonable provision to pay, all claims and obligations
        of the Company, including all contingent, conditional or unmatured
        claims known to the Company and all claims that are known to the Company
        but for which the identity of the claimant is unknown.

               (f) If and to the extent deemed necessary, appropriate or
        desirable by the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, the
        Company may establish and set aside a reasonable amount (the
        "Contingency Reserve") to satisfy claims against the Company (other than
        claims of a Stockholder in its capacity as such) and all expenses of the
        sales of the Company's property and assets, of the collection and
        defense of the Company's property and assets, and of the liquidation and
        dissolution provided for in this Dissolution Plan. The Contingency
        Reserve may consist of cash or other property.

               (g) If and to the extent deemed necessary, appropriate or
        desirable by the Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, the
        Company may transfer to one or more liquidating trustees for the benefit
        of Class A Stockholders under a trust or trusts (the "Trusts"), any
        assets of the Company that are (i) not reasonably susceptible to
        distribution to the Class A Stockholders, including, assets held on
        behalf of the Class A Stockholders who cannot be located or who do not
        tender their certificates evidencing the Class A Common Stock to the
        Company or its agent as hereinafter required; or (ii) held as a
        contingency reserve (the "Contingency Reserve") for indemnification
        under the Purchase Agreements and other claims, and for the benefit of
        the Class A Stockholders, provided, however, that such trust is intended
        to constitute a trust the assets of which are treated as owned by the
        Class A Stockholders for Federal income tax purposes. Any assumption of
        liabilities and obligations of the Company by the trustees shall be
        solely in their capacity as trustees. The Company, subject to this
        paragraph (f) and as authorized by the Board of Directors, in its sole
        and absolute discretion, may enter into a trust agreement with such
        trustee or trustees, on such terms and conditions as the Board of
        Directors, in its absolute discretion, may deem necessary, appropriate
        or desirable. Adoption of this Dissolution Plan by a majority of the
        voting power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall constitute
        the approval of the Stockholders of any such appointment and any such
        trust agreement as their act and as a part hereof as if herein written.

               (h) Following the payment of or provision for the claims and
        obligations of the Company, including the establishment of the
        Contingency Reserves, the Company shall distribute pro rata to the Class
        A Stockholders the remaining assets of the Company, including the
        remaining shares (the "AERC Shares") of the common stock, no par value,
        of Associated Estates Realty Corporation, an Ohio corporation ("AERC")
        received by eight of the Company's 



                                       9

        subsidiaries (the "Subsidiaries") pursuant to the Purchase Agreements
        dated January 28, 1998 between each of the Subsidiaries and AERC (the
        "Purchase Agreements"), and any remaining cash and proceeds of the sale
        of the Company's other property and assets, if any. Such distribution
        may be in cash or in-kind, in such manner, and at such time, as the
        Board of Directors, in its absolute discretion, may determine, but it is
        the intention of the Board that this distribution occur on or about the
        same day that the Class B Stockholders are paid in connection with the
        Redemption.

        4. The distributions to the Class A Stockholders pursuant to Section 3
hereof shall be in complete redemption and cancellation of all of the
outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock. As a condition to receipt of any
distribution to the Class A Stockholders, the Board of Directors, in its
absolute discretion, may require the Class A Stockholders to (i) surrender their
certificates evidencing the Class A Common Stock to the Company or its agents
for recording of such distributions thereon, (ii) surrender their certificates
evidencing the Class A Common Stock to the Company or its agent for cancellation
or (iii) furnish the Company with evidence satisfactory to the Board of
Directors of the loss, theft or destruction of their certificates evidencing the
Class A Common Stock, together with such surety bond or other security or
indemnity as may be required by and satisfactory to the Board of Directors.

        5. The Company will finally close its stock transfer books and
discontinue recording transfers of Class A Common Stock on the earlier to occur
of (i) the close of business on the record date fixed by the Board of Directors
for the Liquidating Distribution, or (ii) the date on which the dissolution
becomes effective under the Maryland General Corporation Law, and thereafter
certificates representing Class A Common Stock will not be assignable or
transferable on the books of the Company except by will, intestate succession or
operation of law.

        6. If any distribution to a Class A Stockholder cannot be made, whether
because the Class A Stockholder cannot be located, has not surrendered its
certificates evidencing the Common Stock as required hereunder or for any other
reason, the distribution to which such Class A Stockholder is entitled shall
(unless transferred to a trust established pursuant to Section 6 hereof) be
transferred at such time as the final liquidating distribution is made by the
Company to and deposited with the state official authorized by the laws of the
State of Maryland to receive the proceeds of such distribution; such transfer
shall comply in all respects with the laws of the State of Maryland and the Code
or be treated as abandoned property in accordance with the laws of the State of
Maryland. In no event shall the proceeds of any such distribution revert to or
become the property of the Company.

        7. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized to appoint one or more
individuals, corporations, partnerships or other persons, or any combination
thereof, to act as the trustee (the "Trustee") for the benefit of the Class A
Stockholders and to receive all remaining assets of the Company. Any Trustee
appointed as provided in the preceding sentence shall succeed to all the right,
title and interest of the Company of any kind and character, including, without
limitation, any uncollected claims, contingent assets and any Contingency
Reserve, and shall assume all of the liabilities and obligations of the Company,
including, without limitation, any unsatisfied claims and unascertained or
contingent liabilities. Further, the Trust or Trustees shall have the full power
to liquidate, deal with, give receipt for and manage all of the property and
assets of the Company, to the exclusion of the Company and its officers and
directors, and any conveyance of assets to the Trustees shall be deemed to be a
distribution of property and assets by the Company to the Class A Stockholders
for the purposes of Section 3 of this Dissolution Plan. Any such conveyance to
the Trustees shall be in trust for the Class A Stockholders and not for the use
or benefit of the Trustees or any other person and 


                                       10
<PAGE>   4

any assumption of liabilities and obligations of the Company by the Trustees
shall be solely in their capacity as Trustees.

        8. Adoption of this Dissolution Plan by a majority of the voting power
of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall constitute the approval of the
Stockholders of the sale, exchange or other disposition in liquidation of all of
the property and assets of the Company not otherwise distributed to the Class A
Stockholders in-kind, whether such sale, exchange or other disposition occurs in
one transaction or a series of transactions, and shall constitute ratification
of all contracts for sale, exchange or other disposition entered into prior to
the date upon which the Articles of Dissolution becomes effective under the
Maryland General Corporation Law that are conditioned on adoption of this
Dissolution Plan.

        9. In connection with and for the purpose of implementing and assuring
completion of this Dissolution Plan, the Company may, in the absolute discretion
of the Board of Directors, pay any brokerage, agency and other fees and expenses
of persons rendering services to the Company in connection with the collection,
sale, exchange or other disposition of the Company's property and assets and the
implementation of this plan.

        10. In connection with and for the purpose of implementing and assuring
completion of this Dissolution Plan, the Company may, in the absolute discretion
of the Board of Directors, pay to the Company's officers, directors and
employees, or any of them, compensation or additional compensation above their
regular compensation, in money or other property, in recognition of the
extraordinary efforts they, or any of them, will be required to undertake, or
actually undertake, in connection with the successful implementation of this
Dissolution Plan, adoption of this Dissolution Plan by a majority of voting
power of the outstanding shares of Common Stock shall constitute the approval of
the Stockholders of the payment of any such compensation.

        11. The Company shall continue to indemnify its officers, directors,
employees and agents in accordance with its articles of incorporation, as
amended, and bylaws and any contractual arrangements, for actions taken in
connection with this Dissolution Plan and the winding up of the affairs of the
Company. The Company's obligation to indemnify such persons may be satisfied out
of the assets of the Trust. The Board of Directors and the Trustees, in their
absolute discretion, are authorized to obtain and maintain insurance as may be
necessary to cover the Company's obligations hereunder.

        12. Notwithstanding authorization of or consent to this Dissolution Plan
and the transactions contemplated hereby by the Stockholders, the Board of
Directors may modify or amend this Dissolution Plan and the transactions
contemplated hereby without further action by the Stockholders to the extent
permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law.

        13. The Board of Directors of the Company is hereby authorized, without
further action by the Stockholders, to do and perform, or cause the officers of
the Company, subject to approval of the Board of Directors, to do and perform,
any and all acts, and to make, execute, deliver or adopt any and all agreements,
resolutions, conveyances, certificates and other documents of every kind that
are deemed necessary, appropriate or desirable, in the absolute discretion of
the Board of Directors, to implement this Dissolution Plan and the transactions
contemplated hereby, including, without limiting the foregoing, all filings or
acts required by any state or federal law or regulation to wind up its affairs.
