Considering leasing a building in the Houston area? Don’t sign on the dotted line without first scheduling a tenant inspection. In Houston and the surrounding communities, it’s common for businesses to sign triple net leases. These leases make the lessee responsible for all maintenance and repair costs during (and at the end of) the contract. Entering into this kind of agreement without knowing the property’s condition is risky. One problem — such as a roof leak or a failing HVAC system — could end up costing hundreds of thousands of dollars.
