What is a Triple Net Lease?
A Triple Net Lease is a commercial lease agreement where the tenant is responsible for the property taxes, building insurance, and common area maintenance costs related to the property being leased. Triple Net Leases are typically used for free standing commercial buildings with common areas (such as parking areas) as a way to make sure that your tenants cover all the expenses associated with use of an entire property.
A Triple Net Lease can benefit the tenant because they may be able to negotiate a lower base rent with the landlord if the tenant is willing to assume these expenses. The Triple Net Lease can also provide the tenant with more control over the property, as they may be able to make decisions about how the property is maintained and managed.
When to use a Triple Net Lease:
- You are leasing a commercial property and want to ensure all property costs are covered in the agreement.
- You want to lease commercial rental property and want to negotiate the terms of the lease using net expenses.

How To Write a Triple Net Lease
A Triple Net Lease is a type of commercial lease agreement that transfers the responsibility of certain costs from the landlord to the tenant. In a Triple Net Lease, the tenant agrees to pay for property taxes, insurance, and maintenance expenses in addition to the base rent. This arrangement can be beneficial for both parties, as it provides the landlord with predictable income while shifting some of the financial burden to the tenant. Here are some key provisions to consider including when writing a Triple Net Lease:
Maintenance
The tenant is responsible for all maintenance items in a Triple Net Lease. It is important to check county and city ordinances for specific duties that may be imposed on landlords. A lawyer should be consulted if you have questions.
Casualty Insurance
In a Triple Net Lease, the responsibility to obtain and pay for casualty insurance on the property is usually that of the tenant. In a lease where the tenant occupies only part of the space in the building, it is common for the landlord to insure the building and the tenant will be responsible for paying the appropriate portion of the insurance premium based on the portion of the premises occupied by the tenant. The tenant may also desire to insure their belongings. If the tenant occupies an entire building, the tenant may be required to maintain the insurance coverage at levels specified by the landlord and to name the landlord as an "additional insured." In any event where the tenant must supply the insurance, the landlord may be provided with proof of insurance and a commitment from the insurance company to notify the landlord prior to any lapse of coverage.
Remodeling and Improvements
It is important for the landlord to retain control over any remodeling or alterations to the property. If the tenant redesigns the property in a manner that is impractical or unattractive to other potential tenants, it may be difficult to re-rent the property when the tenant moves out. Therefore, if remodeling or improvements will be permitted at all, the lease may require pre-approval by the landlord. Further, the tenant should be required to restore the property to its original condition before leaving.
Allowing a tenant to make improvements to the property may also result in "liens" against the property. For example, if a tenant hires a contractor to install a new furnace and then fails to pay the contractor, most states authorize the contractor to file a "mechanic's lien" or "contractor's lien" against the property. A "lien" is similar to a mortgage in that the lienholder (here, the contractor) can force the sale of the property, if necessary, in order to get paid.
Therefore, if the tenant will be allowed to make improvements, the landlord may want to take appropriate steps to make sure that the contractor is paid in full. In some states, some protection can be obtained by including language in the Lease which prohibits liens caused by the tenant, and then filing the Lease with the appropriate government office. Contact an attorney for further assistance.
Triple Net Lease Payments
In Triple Net Leases, there is usually no restriction on the amount of rent charged. These leases are usually unaffected by rent control laws.
Defaults
Each state has specific requirements to properly terminate the Lease when one of the parties violates the terms of the lease, or is "in default." Perhaps the most frequent example of default is the tenant's failure to promptly pay the rent. In order to terminate the lease for nonpayment of rent, the landlord must strictly comply with state-specific procedures, including the content and timing of required notice to the tenant. Failure to do so may result in a delay in eviction. It may also jeopardize the landlord's right to recover rent or reimbursement for damages to the premises.
Landlords may also want to be careful that their actions in terminating a lease or evicting a tenant do not constitute retaliatory actions against the tenant for exercising their rights. For example, the landlord may not evict the tenant simply because the tenant called the authorities regarding a safety problem on the premises. Most states have specific laws that allow tenants to obtain money damages from landlords who engage in retaliatory actions or presume a retaliatory motive for a period of time after the tenant's act.
Alternative Dispute Resolution
Both mediation and arbitration are forms of Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) and offer an alternative to going to court. Both involve an unbiased third party (mediator/arbitrator) who helps to resolve the dispute. The main difference between the two is that an arbitrator makes a final and binding decision (just as if a judge had decided on the case), while a mediator structures negotiations in such a way that the parties can come to a compromise and settle the matter with one another.
Because the arbitrator's decision is final and legally binding on the parties, using arbitration means giving up the right to bring the dispute to court, which may or may not be desirable.
On the other hand, mediation provides that the dispute is not settled or concluded until the parties decide that it is. Thus, at any point in the mediation process, either party may determine that mediation will not be successful and pursue other avenues of resolution (arbitration if provided for in the document, lawsuit, etc.), as long as they have made a good faith effort and followed any statutory rules for mediation. Because mediation is more collaborative and less adversarial than arbitration, it is often the preferred option when the parties have a positive relationship that they would like to maintain.
Sublet
A "sublet" or "sublease" is a Lease by a tenant (lessee) to a third party of all or a part of the property that the tenant (lessee) is leasing from a landlord (lessor). Under the sublease, the original tenant becomes the "Sublessor" and the new tenant is referred to as the "Sublessee." The sublease does not release the tenant (sublessor) from the remaining obligations of the Lease, unless the landlord specifically releases such obligations in writing.
Obviously, the landlord will insist on retaining some control over the selection of any sublessee in order to prevent a complete stranger from occupying the property. Therefore, it is recommended that you include the optional Lease provision that prohibits subletting the property without the landlord's prior written approval. This gives the landlord the opportunity to screen and approve the prospective sublessee.
Subordination of Lease
A "subordination of lease" is a consent from the tenant that their rights to enjoy possession of the property are lower ("subordinate") in priority to the rights of a bank holding a mortgage on the leased property. The landlord's bank usually requires this arrangement for the bank's protection. Without it, the bank might be limited in enforcing its mortgage (upon the landlord's default) because of the tenant's superior right of possession.
Security Deposit
A security deposit is an amount of money given to the landlord by the tenant that can be used by the landlord to offset unpaid rental payments or some other default by the tenant. Most states do not limit the amount that can be collected as a security deposit when the lease is for commercial purposes (i.e. renting space to a printing business as compared to renting an apartment to the president of the printing business for his private living quarters). However, some states require that the security deposit be retained in a separate account, perhaps bearing interest. Check with an attorney if you have any questions about the collection of a security deposit.
Late Payments
Many states have laws limiting the amount of fees that can be charged for late rental payments, but they generally apply to residential, rather than Triple Net Leases. For Triple Net Leases, the landlord generally is allowed to charge whatever late charge that the parties agree upon, as long as that amount is reasonable in relation to the amount of rent and how long the payment has been overdue.
Automatic Renewal/Holdover
Triple Net Leases often provide for automatic renewal of the Lease at the end of each term unless either party gives written termination notice to the other party. Most renewal clauses provide that the terms of the renewed Lease will be the same as the old Lease except that the Lease payments may be adjusted.
The Lease can also include a "holdover" clause, which automatically characterizes the Lease as a month-to-month Lease after the term expires but before the tenant leaves. This characterization defines and limits the relationship so that the landlord can enforce its terms.
Holdover
If a tenant continues to occupy the premises after the Lease term, the landlord is entitled to rent for the period that the tenant unjustifiably remains in the rental property, usually at the same rate that applied during the Lease term. Some states allow the landlord to increase the rent during the holdover period.
If a landlord does not want to continue leasing the property to the holdover tenant, the landlord may immediately begin the state-specified eviction procedures. A delay could result in the creation of a new Lease for an implied term, such as month-to-month. Consult with a lawyer about the eviction process.
Termination on Sale
A "termination on sale" provision gives the landlord the right to prematurely terminate the Lease if the leased property is sold to a third party. The new buyer may want to occupy the property itself or lease the property to a different tenant. Therefore, without this provision, the property would be less valuable to the buyer because the tenant could not be forced to leave.
Destruction or Condemnation of the Property
It is possible that some casualty will occur during the lease term which will severely damage the property (for example, damage by fire, tornado, or flood). If it is possible to repair the damage within 60 days at a reasonable cost, the Lease can provide that the landlord is required to repair the property, and the Lease will not terminate. However, during this repair period, the rent will be reduced in proportion to the tenant's partial or full inability to use the property. The maximum amount that the landlord is required to spend to repair the property can be specified. If the loss is greater than the specified amount, or if the property cannot be repaired within 60 days, or if the property is condemned by a governmental agency, either party can terminate the lease. In that event, the tenant will receive a refund of any unused rent.
General Provisions
A Lease should include provisions that: 1) make it clear that the document contains the entire agreement of the parties, 2) require any changes to the agreement to be in writing and signed by both parties, 3) preserve the remainder of the agreement if one of its provisions is invalid, and 4) specify which state's laws will govern any dispute between the parties.
