 Lease Types

Same rent, very different leases

Two spaces at the same rate can cost very different amounts. It comes down to who pays the building's costs.

Gross lease

One all-in rent. The landlord pays the property taxes, insurance and running costs out of it.

Property taxes, insurance and common-area costsLandlord
Structural and capital repairsLandlord

Terms vary by landlord — the lease itself always decides who pays what.

 Reading a Listing

How commercial rent is quoted

Rates are per square foot, per year — so a listing's "$20" is not a monthly figure. Here is how the numbers add up.

 The Fine Print

Eight clauses to read twice

They rarely make the listing, but they decide what the lease really costs and how much room you have later.

Term and renewal

How long you are committed, and whether you can extend — at a set rent or at market rate.

Rent steps

Increases built into the lease, usually each year or at set points in the term.

Tenant inducements

Free-rent months or an improvement allowance. Negotiated, never automatic.

Personal guarantee

Whether you are personally liable if the business can't pay.

Assignment and subletting

Whether you can pass the lease on if you sell the business or need less space.

Exclusive use

In retail, whether the landlord can lease nearby space to a direct competitor.

Relocation

Whether the landlord can move you to other space in the building.

Restoration

What you must remove or put back when the lease ends.
