4 Types of LeasesInformation provided by Brian Fielding of

Fielding Investments and Fielding Companies

Gross Lease

• Usually found within government agencies and other

large corporations

• Landlords usually need to provide garbage and janitorial

services.

• Usually, the tenants that seek out a gross lease are more

demanding, so a landlord needs to be experienced.

time, this probably isn’t the best option for you.

Single Net Lease “N”

• Tenant has limited responsibility for the maintenance of the property.

• Many N lease owners can do their own repair work, or have access to some specialists and handymen who can do a lot of the work for them at a great rate.

Double-Net Lease “NN”

• The responsibility for many of the structural and site maintenance of the building still lies on the investor.

• Investors with a double-net lease property should hire professionals for the buildings’ repairs shares Brian Fielding.
