leaser

Tenant under contract

A leaser is someone who leases property—either the person granting the lease (the landlord or lessor) or the one receiving it (the tenant or lessee).

Context usually clarifies which: The leaser requires a security deposit suggests landlord; The leaser moved in last week suggests tenant.

The word is less common than lessor or lessee, which avoid the ambiguity.
