A Short Form Lease of Office Space is a type of agreement between a landlord and a tenant for the use of office space. This type of agreement is generally shorter than a standard lease agreement, and typically covers the basics such as the rent, length of the lease, security deposit, and other basic terms. It is important to note that this type of agreement does not provide as much detail or protection as a standard lease. There are two main types of Short Form Lease of Office Space: Gross Lease and Net Lease. The Gross Lease requires the tenant to pay a fixed amount of rent each month, and the landlord covers all expenses such as taxes, utilities, and insurance. In a Net Lease, the tenant pays the rent plus a portion of the expenses. This type of agreement is typically used when the tenant will be making improvements to the office space.
