A double net lease (NN) is an agreement in which the tenant (lessee) is responsible for both insurance and property taxes. (In a single net lease the tenant is only required to pay property taxes.) Typically, the landlord or property owner is responsible for expenses related to structural maintenance.
In commercial real estate, a double net lease is often associated with a property that has multiple tenants such as a shopping center. A multi-tenant property typically uses the NN lease structure because the property owner will have leases with multiple tenants who often share a spaces, such as a parking lot or roof. The landlord is usually responsible for the roof and structural integrity of the building, though other stipulations may be included in the lease agreement. Some single tenant properties may also have a NN lease.
