Michael Withrow answers: “What is a gross lease?”

A gross lease is as a tenant you’re paying a single dollar amount. Usually, the landlord has already factored in the operating expenses into that. From a tenant perspective, it’s good because you know what your rate is going to be every month of your lease. From a landlord perspective, it’s a gamble because you’re estimating what your recoveries are going to be or your expenses rather, what those are going to be, and you’re hoping that you hit your mark.
