Question & Answer

Review the question and all answer choices

A

gross lease.

A gross lease is incorrect because in this type of lease, the tenant pays only a fixed rent amount, and the landlord is responsible for all property expenses including taxes, insurance, and maintenance.

B

net lease.

A net lease is incorrect because while it does require the tenant to pay property expenses in addition to base rent, it doesn't specifically tie these additional payments to a percentage of the tenant's income as described in the question.

C

percentage lease.

Correct Answer
D

estate for will.

An estate for will is incorrect because this refers to a type of property ownership interest that takes effect upon death through a will, which is completely unrelated to lease classifications or payment structures.

Why is this correct?

A percentage lease is correct because it requires the tenant to pay rent plus additional expenses (like taxes, maintenance, or insurance) that are often calculated as a percentage of the tenant's gross sales or business revenue. This structure aligns with the description in the question.
