leaseholder
Tenant with contract
A leaseholder is someone who holds property under a lease—a contract granting temporary use in exchange for payment.
The term appears most often in real estate, distinguishing those who lease from those who own outright: The leaseholder complained to the building management about the broken elevator.
In British property law, leaseholders own their flat but not the building or land beneath it.
