 We recognize, as rental income, the total minimum lease payments under the leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Generally, under the terms of our leases, the majority of property operating expenses, including real estate taxes, insurance, and other property operating expenses are recovered from our tenants and recognized as tenant recovery revenue in the same period we incur the related expenses. As the timing and straight-line pattern of transfer to the lessee for rental revenue and the associated rental recoveries are the same and our leases qualify as operating leases, we account for the present rental revenue and tenant recovery revenue as a single component under Lease Revenue. We assess the collectibility of lease receivables (including future minimum rental payments) at commencement and throughout the lease term. If we conclude that collection of lease payments is not probable at lease commencement, we will recognize lease payments only as they are received. If collection of lease payments is concluded to be probable at commencement and our assessment of collectibility changes during the lease term, any difference between the revenue that would have been received under the straight-line method and the lease payments that have been collected will be recognized as a current period adjustment to Lease Revenue and revenue will subsequently be accounted for on a cash basis until such time that collection of future rent is deemed probable.

If a lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether we or the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease payments which are deferred and amortized as revenue over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, we record any tenant improvement allowance paid to tenant as a lease inducement and amortize it as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.We recognize fees received from tenants to fully terminate their lease prior to the contractual end date on a straight-line basis from the notification date through the revised lease end date.Property ExpensesProperty expenses include real estate taxes, utilities, repairs and maintenance, property insurance as well as the cost of our property management personnel and other costs of managing our properties. Several of our leases require tenants to pay real estate taxes directly to taxing authorities. We exclude from property expenses certain lessor costs, such as real estate taxes, that the we contractually require tenants to pay directly to a third party on our behalf. The amounts paid directly to third parties by tenants for lessor costs are also excluded from lease revenues. Lessee AccountingWe are a lessee on a limited number of ground and
