A Lease is an agreement allowing one party to use another's property, plant, or equipment for a stated period of time in exchange for consideration. Leases have become more prevalent as businesses and consumers look for alternatives to finance the acquisition of fixed assets. A lease agreement involves at least two parties a lessor, who owns the property, and a lessee, who uses the property. The lessor, essentially a creditor in the transaction, is repaid from a combination of lease or rental payments, tax benefits, and proceeds from the sale or re-lease of the property at the en of the lease term.
