You are a commercial tenant then you want a GROSS lease!

If you are a commercial tenant then you want to enter into a Gross lease. A gross lease has the landlord pay all expenses, utilities, taxes, cleaning, etc. from the rent payments. A triple net lease places much of the burden of expenses including property taxes onto the tenant instead of the landlord. Many small commercial tenants and landlords enter into “modified gross” leases which split some of the costs between them.

Before you enter into any type of lease agreement seek counsel from your Realtor and attorney.
