Net Leases

  What is the difference between net, net-net, and triple net when talking about commercial leases?
 
  The terms are used pretty much interchangeably.  Most often, a net lease is one in which the tenant pays some of the landlord's costs.  With a net-net lease, the tenant usually pays property taxes and insurance on the building.  With a triple net, the tenant pays property taxes, insurance, and also maintenance, just about everything except the landlord's mortgage.
