In-Place Rent

Also known as: Contract Rent, In Place Rent

Rent charged under the leases currently in effect at a property, rather than an estimate of current market rent.

In-place rent is the rent charged under existing leases at a property. It reflects the agreed lease terms, rather than the rent a comparable space might command in the current market.

An in-place rent figure describes contractual pricing; it does not by itself prove that billed amounts were collected. Identify the reporting date, unit or area basis, and treatment of concessions when comparing rent figures.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is in-place rent the same as market rent?

No. In-place rent follows existing lease terms. Market rent estimates what the property could command under current market conditions.
