In a net lease, the tenant not only pays rent, but also part of the building's operating costs. These costs can include property taxes, insurance and maintenance.

This form is a net lease for a part of a building.

Important to Know

• To lease an entire building, use "Commercial Net Lease for Entire Building."
• Many landlords already have their own leases. However, smaller landlords -- those who own only one or two buildings -- will be more likely to sign this lease form.
• Consider using a "Commercial Gross Lease" if it can save you money over the long run. A net lease is often cheaper initially, but may become more expensive if operating costs rise. The longer the lease period, the more inclined you should be to elect a gross lease.
