A triple net lease, also known as an NNN Lease, is a lease in which the tenant agrees to pay their pro-rata share of all expenses associated with property maintenance, taxes, and insurance, in addition to a predetermined base rental rate.

These expenses are commonly referred to as operating expenses.

Operating expenses (op/ex) are the costs associated with operating and maintaining a commercial property such as an office building or retail center. In a triple net lease, op/ex consists of three main elements: property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (CAM) fees.

In a triple net lease, your annual rental obligation, called gross rent, will be your base rental rate plus operating expenses.

Gross Rent = Base Rent + Operating Expenses
