Tenant (AKA Lessee)

What does it mean

A Tenant (Lessee) is a person/entity who is granted access to an asset by a Landlord (Lessor) for a set period of time as long as periodic payments are made by the Tenant.

 

Why does it matter

The Tenant/Landlord relationship is a very common agreement in business; so it is best to understand the terminology because it will come up frequently.  

Real Estate Leases can come in 3 common flavors:

  1. Single Net Lease (N)
  2. Double Net Lease (NN)
  3. Triple Net Lease (NNN)

A bit about me

Greetings! I'm Clay Sharkey, and there is nothing I like more than assisting others in achieving their goals. I firmly believe that by enhancing a banker's understanding of their customer's' business, they can provide superior service. This superior service, in turn, leads to stronger relationships for the bank, improved performance for the businesses, and better experiences for our communities.  Win-win-win.
