Leasing Definitions: What Does a "Fully Serviced Lease" Mean?

By Lahle Wolfe, About.com

Definition: The term "Fully Serviced Lease" refers to a lease in which the monthly rent includes the cost of certain types of services, which may include janitorial services, trash collection, utilities, water and sewer charges, property taxes, etc.

Instead of the tenant opening their own service or utility accounts and directly paying for these costs, the landlord pays for the expenses, but includes an amount in the monthly rent to help off-set these costs.
