In a net lease, the tenant pays some or all operating expenses in addition to rent. Which statement best describes a net lease?

In a net lease, the tenant carries most or all of the property's operating costs in addition to paying rent. The key idea is that operating expenses are passed through to the tenant rather than being covered by the landlord, which can include items like property taxes, insurance, and maintenance (often with CAM charges in triple-net arrangements). This shifts cost risk from the landlord to the tenant and typically results in a lower base rent but higher total occupancy cost for the tenant. The other descriptions either imply the landlord pays all expenses (gross lease) or describe nonstandard arrangements, which is not what a net lease represents.
