Lease Structures
What is the money you pay actually going to every month?
Gross Lease (Full Service Lease)
Extremely hard to find.
Tenant: pays rent only
Landlord: Pays property tax, insurance, and all operating expenses.
Modified Gross Lease
Used as a compromise between gross and Net Leases.
Tenant: Base Rent + Some Negotiated Expenses
Landlord: Pays for remaining Operating Expenses
Net Leases
Most commonly seen in the market.
Single Net (N): Tenant Pays base rent+ property taxes.
Double Net (NN): Tenant pays base rent+ property taxes + insurance.
Triple Net (NNN): Tenant pays base rent + Property Tax + Insurance + Operating/Maintenance (CAM)
Base Rent
Asking $/SF is seldom what is actually written in the terms. This is fully negotiable. Its normal for it to increase over time but at what rate? That too is negotiable.
Tenant Improvement
Give the space the soul you want it to have. Very often the Landlord will pay either a portion or the full value of the construction build out. This is fully negotiable.
Rent Abatement
When is your business slowest? You can negotiate to lower the rent or even eliminate the rent during that season.
Lease Terms
