Correct Answer

B) Single net lease

Why this is correct: Lease types are defined by what operating expenses the tenant pays. In a single net (or net) lease, the tenant pays base rent plus property taxes. The original explanation correctly outlines the progression: single net adds taxes, double net adds taxes and insurance, triple net adds taxes, insurance, and maintenance. Why the other choices are wrong: A triple net lease requires the tenant to pay all three: taxes, insurance, and maintenance. A full service gross lease means the landlord pays all operating expenses. A percentage lease bases rent on the tenant's sales volume. Exam tip: Remember the sequence: N = Taxes, NN = Taxes + Insurance, NNN = Taxes + Insurance + Maintenance.
