Leasing Services

Mays, of Amarillo, TX, is a Leasing Agent and Tenant Broker

The process of negotiating a commercial lease is not for the novice or the faint of heart. Mays is both a leasing agent and tenant broker, offering asset and property management, landlord services, and tenant services in our leasing solutions portfolio.

A rental agreement that allows a business to rent commercial space from a landlord is called a commercial real estate lease. There are three forms of commercial leases:

1. Full Service Lease: The most common type of lease for office buildings is the full service lease. The rent is includes everything. The landlord is responsible for property expenses, taxes, insurance, repairs, maintenance, utilities, and janitorial services. This is the best of all possible worlds for the tenant. There are no hidden fees allowing a tenant to forecast their rent as a fixed expense.
2. Net Lease: The landlord charges a lower annual rent than a full service lease. However, the tenant is responsible for the monthly costs associated with the property like common area maintenance, property taxes, and property insurance. This type of rental agreement comes in three sizes: single, double or triple net lease. With a single net lease, the tenant pays rent plus a pro-rata share of the building’s property taxes. With the double net lease, the tenant pays a portion of the property insurance in addition to rent and property taxes. With a triple net lease, the tenant pays the pro-rate share of the building’s property taxes, property taxes, and common area maintenance in addition to the rent.
3. Modified Gross Lease: A modified gross lease is compromise between the full service lease and net lease. A tenant still pays for a pro-rata share of the property taxes, property insurance, and common area maintenance, but in a lump sum payment along with their rent. There are no hidden fees. Utilities and janitorial services are covered by the landlord.
