lease vs lessor definition
In a lease agreement, the lessee is defined as the party that pays for the use of the asset or property. The lessor is the party that receives payments from the lessee in exchange for the usage of its asset or property.
A lease is a contract to rent an asset, be it land, a building, or machinery, for a set period of time and for set payment terms. Leases often come with many conditions in terms of the allowed use of the asset and even required maintenance terms.
