What type of lease requires the lessee to pay for the taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property in addition to the monthly rent?

  1. Gross Lease

  2. Net Lease

  3. Triple Net Lease

  4. Double Net Lease

The correct answer is: Net Lease

A Net Lease requires the lessee to pay for taxes, insurance, and maintenance on the property in addition to the monthly rent. In a Net Lease arrangement, the tenant is responsible for these additional costs, which allows the landlord to have a more predictable income stream without being burdened by the expenses related to the property's taxes, insurance, and maintenance. A Gross Lease, on the other hand, typically includes all costs in the monthly rent, so the tenant is not responsible for additional expenses such as taxes and maintenance. A Triple Net Lease is an arrangement where the tenant is responsible for taxes, insurance, maintenance, and other operating expenses of the property, whereas a Double Net Lease typically only requires the tenant to pay for taxes and insurance, not maintenance.
