lease agreement

Tenant's binding document

A lease agreement is a contract between a property owner and a tenant, specifying terms of rental—duration, payment, rules, and responsibilities.

The phrase is largely redundant, since a lease is itself an agreement, but lease agreement emphasizes the formal, binding nature of the document: Read the lease agreement carefully before signing.
