Calculate Rent NNN Leases
Most retail leases are triple net leases in which the landlord is
charging base rent but also passing along “Additional Rents.” Commercial
tenants looking for retail space should know the total rent is the base
rent plus the triple net (NNN) charges.
The NNN’s include the tenant’s
pro rata share of common area maintenance charges, building insurance,
and taxes. Adding the pass through charges and the base rent equals the
total rent owed. For example, if the base rent for a 1,500 sf retail
space is $40 psf and the pass through charges aka NNN’s are $10 psf then
the total annual owed is $75,000. The triple net charges of $15,000 are
added to the base rent of $60,000. A good landlord will use their best
efforts to limit annual increases in NNN’s.

protect yourself from massive increases in triple net charges by
