What Is Triple Net Lease?

A triple net lease (NNN) requires the tenant to pay property taxes, insurance, and maintenance in addition to base rent — shifting nearly all operating costs from landlord to tenant.

Why It Matters

NNN leases give landlords a highly predictable income stream since operating expense increases pass through to the tenant, which is why single-tenant NNN properties are popular with income-focused investors.
