Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a net lease, the tenant is responsible for paying a base rent plus additional expenses such as property taxes, insurance, and maintenance costs. Therefore, the retailer has the greatest control over property maintenance in a net lease as they are directly responsible for the costs and upkeep. In contrast, in a straight lease or graduated lease, the landlord is typically responsible for maintaining the property and passing on those costs to the tenant through higher rent payments. The maintenance-increase-recoupment lease is a variation on the net lease where the tenant can recoup some of the maintenance costs through rent increases, but the landlord still has some control over the property maintenance.
