A triple net commercial lease is a net lease where the tenant is responsible for rent, maintaining the premises, and other property charges like utilities and taxes. A party that fails to properly plan to approach a commercial lease will waste much time reviewing and negotiate the lease later on. The planning above does NOT account for non-real property.
Construing leases is often a matter of law. A jury will rarely resort to the parole evidence rule. Parties should NOT rely on courts to construe better bargains than those the lease provides.
Besides legal regulations, there may be practical reasons, that would compel landlords and tenants alike, to have their lease agreement contractual documents, be recorded for public filing purposes. Those reasons can involve any one or more of a myriad of situations, such as: part of a broader loan/mortgage type of agreement (i.e. as it concerns to a lender's/underwriter's due diligence process, during a mortgage financing type of situations), tax substantiation reasons with regards of an ongoing and/or potentially prospecting upcoming tax audit, part of a wider range of zoning/variance controversy situation. Double net residential leases may be more popular for retail store premises, especially in Manhattan, Queens, and Brooklyn. Even with triple net commercial leases, security deposits are typically the landlord’s asset.
Many of the lease agreements (especially, many of the ones created through do-it-yourself autogenerating software or bare-bone store sold templates) did not account the catastrophic damages, that would inflict landlords and tenants after COVID-19.
To better assist in a quest of further analyzing this type of question(s) as revolving per this legal guide article, it may be useful to make additional inquiries, such as: Should special zoning classification uses or restrictions be included in New York real property leases, accounting for such uses by the tenant(s)? Has the lease been reviewed and revised to account for any recent relevant changes in New York law? Do any rent regulation laws apply to the lease?
