Structural repairs

Last updated

In construction, structural repairs is a technical term describing maintenance of a property structure in order to bring it up to local health and safety standards. It is contrasted to renovations or non-structural repairs. Unlike renovations, structural repairs add relatively little value to a property. [1] [2] [3]

Leases often include provisions that define what types of changes amount to structural repairs and assign responsibility to either the tenant or the landlord. [4]

In the field of commercial real estate, especially in the United States, a net lease requires the tenant to pay, in addition to rent, some or all of the property expenses that normally would be paid by the property owner. These include expenses such as property taxes, insurance, maintenance, repair, and operations, utilities, and other items. These expenses are often categorized into the "three nets": property taxes, insurance, and maintenance. In US parlance, a lease where all three of these expenses are paid by the tenant is known as a triple net lease, NNN Lease, or triple-N for short and sometimes written NNN.
