Explanation

Under a gross lease, the landlord pays most operating expenses (taxes, insurance, maintenance) and charges the tenant a single inclusive rent. Under a net lease, the tenant pays some or all operating expenses in addition to base rent (single net = taxes; double net = taxes + insurance; triple net = taxes + insurance + maintenance).
