Leases

The Partnership leases certain convenience store and other properties under non-cancellable operating leases whose initial terms are typically 5 to 10 years, along with options that permit renewals for additional periods. Minimum rent is expensed on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We are normally 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:
