percentage lease

A lease that requires rent payments based on a percentage of the gross sales of the tenant. It is common with retail leases and food and beverage leases. Most contain a minimum payment clause so that if gross sales drop below a certain level the rent will be the minimum payment rather than a percentage of sales.
