The type of lease in a commercial property often determines who is responsible for maintenance and repairs. Here's a quick breakdown of how maintenance responsibilities typically vary by lease type:
- Full-Service (Gross) Lease: The landlord handles most or all property maintenance, including common areas, utilities, and repairs, with those costs bundled into the rent.
- Net Lease (Single, Double, Triple Net):
- Single Net (N): Tenant pays rent + property taxes, while the landlord handles maintenance.
- Double Net (NN): Tenant pays rent + property taxes + insurance, with the landlord usually covering structural maintenance.
- Triple Net (NNN): Tenant pays rent + property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, including repairs to the property (except structural components like the roof or foundation).
- Modified Gross Lease: A middle-ground option where tenants and landlords negotiate who covers certain expenses, such as utilities or maintenance.
- Percentage Lease: Common in retail properties, where tenants pay a base rent plus a percentage of sales — maintenance responsibilities are often split or negotiated.
It's always best to check the lease agreement for exact maintenance terms, as responsibilities can vary depending on the landlord-tenant agreement.
