Document Summary

A lease is a contract that gives the rights to use an asset in return for the payment of rent. In the commonly used sense of the term, a lease is a fee-for-usage contract between an owner of property and a renter. The asset"s owner is the lessor, and the renter is the lessee. Leased assets can include both real property and personal property. Real property means real estate: land and buildings. Personal property includes much more than the property that belongs to a person; it is any property that is not real property and includes both tangible assets (e. g. , machinery, equipment, or transportation vehicles) and certain intangibles (e. g. , patents). As the lease term lengthens in relationship to an asset"s economic life more and more of the risks and rewards pass from the lessor to the lessee. Essentially, an operating lease is defined as a lease that does not fit the definition of a finance lease.
