Which of the following would NOT typically be included as part of an operational agreement under a gross lease?

Routine maintenance costs.
Utilities.
Common area expenses.
Property taxes.

The correct answer is: Utilities.

In a gross lease, the landlord typically covers most of the operational expenses associated with the property. This includes routine maintenance costs, common area expenses, and property taxes. Utilities, however, are usually considered variable operational expenses that may not fall under the landlord's responsibility in a gross lease. Different lease agreements can dictate who pays for utilities, and often tenants are responsible for their own utility costs. Therefore, it’s common for utilities to be excluded when discussing the landlord's obligations under a gross lease. This distinction helps clarify the financial responsibilities of both parties in the lease agreement.
