Property Management

A Hawaii commercial tenant signs a 'triple net' (NNN) lease. The landlord discovers roof damage requiring a $50,000 repair. Who pays under an NNN lease?

AA. The tenant pays all repairs including roof under NNN
BB. The landlord typically pays for structural repairs like roofing even under NNN leases, unless the lease specifically states otherwise✓ Correct
CC. The cost is split 50/50 by law
DD. The insurance company always pays regardless of lease type

Explanation

Even under NNN leases, structural repairs like roofing are typically the landlord's responsibility unless the lease explicitly assigns this cost to the tenant. Lease terms govern but custom allocates structural repairs to the landlord.
