Net Lease Structures
Net Lease (Standard for multi-tenant):
- Total Rent = Base Rent + (Proportionate Share × Operating Expenses) + Additional Rent
- Tenant pays proportionate share of building operating expenses
- Proportionate Share = Tenant's Rentable Area ÷ Total Building Rentable Area
Triple Net (NNN) (Standard for single-tenant):
- Tenant pays base rent PLUS all property expenses (taxes, insurance, utilities, maintenance, repairs, management)
- Landlord receives "net" rent with minimal obligations
Modified Gross/Base Year (Common in office):
- Base year operating costs established (Year 1)
- Tenant pays proportionate share of increases above base year
- Protects landlord from inflation while giving tenant cost certainty
