How it comes up, in Chapter 3
Linnet will pay £60,000 a year for the first floor. The lease calls this sum the Annual Rent, and this chapter calls it “the rent”. Linnet also pays a share of the cost of insuring the building, the insurance rent, and a share of its running costs, the service charge (Chapter 5). The lease calls the three payments, with any VAT and late-payment interest on them, the Rents.
