What is typically included in a gross lease between a tenant and landlord?

In a gross lease, the landlord assumes responsibility for most, if not all, of the operating expenses associated with the property. This typically includes utilities, which cover essential services like electricity, water, and gas. By including utilities in the gross lease, tenants have a clearer understanding of their total housing costs upfront without worrying about fluctuating utility bills.

In contrast, property management fees and real estate taxes are usually not included in a gross lease, as these are often handled as separate costs or responsibilities under different types of lease agreements. The tenant and subtenant agreement pertains to arrangements between tenants that wouldn’t typically be covered by a gross lease from the landlord's perspective. Thus, identifying utilities as part of a gross lease is crucial for understanding the tenant's budgeting and the landlord’s obligations.
