Lease

[Merna]

Lease refers to a period of time in which an asset or property is used by another party. It usually involves a rental agreement, where the tenant (the party using the asset) pays a monthly or yearly rental fee to the owner (the party who owns and manages it). The term is derived from the Latin word lease meaning to grant or transfer something in exchange for payment.

A lease is a contractual arrangement calling for the user (referred to as the lessee) to pay the owner (referred to as the lessor) for the use of an asset. Property, buildings and vehicles are common assets that are leased. Industrial or business equipment are also leased. Basically a lease agreement is a contract between two parties: the lessor and the lessee. The lessor is the legal owner of the asset, while the lessee obtains the right to use the asset in return for regular rental payments. The lessee also agrees to abide by various conditions regarding their use of the property or equipment. For example, a person leasing a car may agree to the condition that the car will only be used for personal use.
