What kind of Rent are you paying? Confused? Call us for help!
Gross Lease: A Lease in which, for a specified Rent, the Landlord provides all Services and Repairs and pays all expense of the
leased property, such as taxes, insurance, maintenance, utilities, etc…
Full Service Rent: A rental rate that includes operating expenses and real estate taxes for the first year. In most cases the tenant
will pay for any increase in operating expenses over the base year amount. Some times stated as Base Year Rent.
Net Lease: Lease in which the Tenant is responsible for payment of Rent, plus some or all Operating Expenses such as taxes, insur-
ance premiums, repairs, utilities, etc… On most occasions landlord remains responsible for roof and structure.
There are also “net-net” (double net) and “net-net-net” (triple net) leases, depending upon the degree to which the tenant is responsi-
ble for operating costs.
Triple Net (NNN) Rent: Rent stipulated in a lease in which the tenant agrees to pay all of the landlords operating expenses and real
estate taxes for the building. This is often referred to as “CAM & Taxes”, the CAM being “Common Area Expenses”. This is the
most common form of lease used in the Berks Market.
Base Rent: A Set amount used as minimum rent in a lease which also utilizes a percentage or other allocation for additional rent.
