Lease Commitments

        HP leases certain real and personal property under non-cancelable operating leases. Certain leases require HP to pay property taxes, insurance and routine maintenance and include renewal options and escalation clauses. Rent expense was approximately $1.0 billion in fiscal 2015, 2014 and 2013.

        Property under capital leases was comprised primarily of equipment and furniture. Capital lease assets included in Property, plant and equipment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets were $207 million and $229 million as of October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Accumulated depreciation on the property under capital leases was $187 million and $207 million as of October 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

        As of October 31, 2015, future minimum operating lease commitments were as follows:
