Virginia State Real Estate Exam Practice Question

Which lease type charges rent per square foot occupied?

Correct Answer: B

Rationale: A percentage lease charges rent based on a percentage of the tenant's sales, not a flat rate per square foot. A gross lease involves a fixed rent where the landlord covers operating expenses, so it does not vary with space occupied. A triple net lease requires tenants to pay for property expenses in addition to base rent, but still does not charge rent specifically per square foot occupied. In contrast, a variable lease adjusts rent based on specific criteria, but again does not focus solely on square footage. Thus, only the percentage lease directly ties rent to occupancy.
