Leasing
A gross lease is a lease where the landlord pays most operating expenses and the tenant pays a single rent amount.
Updated Sep 12, 2026
In a gross lease the landlord typically pays taxes, insurance, and common-area costs, and prices that into rent. It is common in residential and some small commercial space.
Contrast that with a triple-net (NNN) lease, where the tenant reimburses those costs. Mislabeling the lease type breaks budgets and CAM reconciliations.

Common area maintenance (CAM) is the shared operating cost of a commercial property, often estimated monthly and reconciled annually.
A triple-net (NNN) lease passes property taxes, insurance, and common-area maintenance through to the tenant, usually in addition to base rent.
Operating expenses are the recurring costs of running a property, such as repairs, insurance, utilities, and management fees.
