leasing agreements

Tenant-landlord legal documents

Leasing agreements are contracts in which one party grants another the right to use property—typically real estate, vehicles, or equipment—for a specified period in exchange for payment.

The term emphasizes the formal, often lengthy documents that spell out terms, responsibilities, and conditions: The leasing agreements required tenants to maintain renter's insurance.

In business contexts, leasing agreements may include options to purchase at the end of the term.
