Leases
The Partnership leases certain convenience store and other properties under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 10 to 20 years, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. Minimum rent is typically expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We typically are responsible for payment of real estate taxes, maintenance expenses and insurance. These properties are primarily sublet to third parties.

The components of net rent expense are as follows:
