Q & A: Ask Chris Keeley
What is the Difference Between a Gross or a Net Lease?
Gross Lease: A type of rent calculation where the rent includes the base rent and all expenses (taxes, insurance and operating expenses). Expense increases each year of the lease will be passed onto the tenant in the form of expense pass through.
Net Lease or often times called a Triple Net Lease (NNN): A type of rent calculation where the rent cost is split up into a Base Rent amount and separate expenses called Triple Net (NNN). Typically, expenses are placed in three categories: taxes, insurance, and operating expenses. The term “triple net,” which is also written “NNN,” means that the tenant pays all expenses as a separate charge. Triple net is a shorthand real estate way of saying that the tenant pays base rent plus 100 percent of all expenses.
EXAMPLE: Rental Property: 25,000 ± square foot building divided into 5,000 ± square foot spaces. Tenant wants to lease 5,000 ± square feet. Landlord 1 quotes $0.90 per square foot gross or $4,500 per month total. Landlord 2 quotes $0.72 per square foot (NNN) or $3,600 per month (base rent) plus their pro-rata share (25 percent) of the total building expenses. $643 per month (building taxes), $120 per month (building insurance), $137 per month (Common area maintenance). Total rent plus nets of $4,500 per month.
Very often the payment to the tenant is the same in either case, and typically Landlord 1 will also require the tenant to pay any increases in net charges after year one.
