Rental Expense and Lease Commitments

14. Rental Expense and Lease Commitments

We lease certain home office buildings, certain sales and other office space and equipment under long-term operating leases. Rent expense was $23.7 million, $22.6 million and $22.5 million, for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Future minimum rental commitments under non-cancelable operating leases are as follows:

Year	Commitments
	(in thousands)
2016	$	22,564
2017		18,042
2018		13,622
2019		8,971
2020		4,606
Thereafter		12,195

	$	80,000

New leases are expected to be executed as existing leases expire. Thus, future minimum lease commitments are not expected to be materially different than those in 2015.
