Talk:Leasing

message: Can anyone explain the intended meaning of the following sentence, under "Real estate leases?"
:"Unlike with other forms of property, there is no depreciation component to leasing real estate"
Clearly a property that is leased could be considered an income property for which depreciation would be a major factor to the owner.  Lupinelawyer 01:29, 5 Mar 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: The distinction being made here is between typical closed-end leases for movable property, which are frequently structured as "depreciation plus rent" (where the lessee may be able to vary the cost by varying the expected depreciation over the lease term), and real-estate leases which are "rent only" (i.e., the depreciation taken by the lessor is not relevant to the lessee because the lessee is presumed not to have any influence over it provided the property is maintained in accordance with the lease).  Put another way, depreciation in real-estate leases is structural, but in (e.g. and most commonly) auto leases is point of negotiation.  18.26.0.18 07:35, 17 Apr 2005 (UTC)

message: Leasing is a process by which a firm can obtain the use of a certain fixed assets for which it must pay a series of contractual, periodic, tax deductible payments.
I don't think that we can say that ALL lease payments are going to be deductible under EVERY taxation system. For example, I know that under the Australian taxation system, lease payments are only deductible where they are incurred in producing assessable income or necessarily incurred in carrying on a business for the purpose of producing assessable income (and certain other tests are met). That bit should be removed. Joaq99 (talk) 03:36, 30 November 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Tax Deductible? 

message: Time has passed and the paged remained untouched. I have therefore completed the merge of material requested and wikified the page so that it is non-specific. I transfered the material on closed-end leasing to a new page and flagged it for wikification. -David91 20:24, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title: Too legal?

message: I understand the above-mentioned concern that the article concentrates on the legal aspects of leasing in general.  This article, although sufficiently lengthy, seems to neglect some practical aspects of leasing real estate such as apartments.  An article on the legal aspects of leasing is perfectly alright.  However, I've tried to look for a Wikipedia article on the practical aspects of apartment rental.  So far, I have not found one.  Does anyone know if there is such an article?  Maybe one should be written on the practical aspects of renting and leasing apartments, real estate, etc. covering lessor/tenant relationships, security deposits, rent payments, housing rules, wear and tear or damage to apartments, evictions, etc.  H Padleckas 09:04, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

replies: text: Rental_agreement and Leasehold_estate are what you're looking for, Padleckas, and no, David91, this is not a U.S. issue. --Espoo 08:15, 26 August 2006 (UTC)

text: See my comments below under "renting" section on this Talk page.  Also, the Leasehold estate article seems to smack of legal theory to me.  Non-lawyers don't use that term in the USA.  H Padleckas 03:22, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Apartment or real estate rental article 

message: I agree that it might be relevant to make a reference from a municipal law page to an international law page. Unfortunately, the page referred to is not a law page. An international law page would consider the Public International Law maxim of pacta sunt servanda within the context of a lease between sovereign nations. It would start by considering the municipal issue of leasing a piece of land in a host state for the purposes of establishing an embassy and then move up to leasing for the purposes of, say, a military base, to the question both historically and contemporaneously, of whether one state may lease a piece of territory from another, e.g. Hong Kong, Gibraltar, etc. so please, let us not confuse a historical page with an internatioal law page.

thread_title: Leasing in international law

message: This article should explain whether "renting" is a synonym, and the disambiguation page renting needs mention of leasing of business premises, not just for residential purposes (called "housing tenure" there), and it needs a "real" link to leasing, not just under "See also". --Espoo 13:32, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: On Aug. 4, 2006, I've expanded the both the Renting and Rental agreement articles a bit, particularly in the area of Real estate renting, and mentioning the possibility of renting business space too.  Espoo has seen this expanded version later about Aug. 26.  Although, if I would have written that section on Housing/Real estate Rental in Rental agreement originally, I would have written it in a different style, that section is really not bad.  I think a link from the Apartment article to these articles may be adequate for the topic of Apartment renting, at least for now.  Espoo, do you want to fix these up any further?  Go ahead and give it a try, if you want to.  H Padleckas 02:46, 7 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  renting 

message: We keep getting links added to pages that provide stock rental agreements - I don't think this is encyclopedic or particularly useful in a manageable way for an international encyclopaedia.  I'll continue to remove them unless there is a good argument for keeping them to improve the article.  -- SiobhanHansa 20:51, 29 August 2007 (UTC)
