  1. leasehold

    A leasehold estate is an ownership of a temporary right to hold land or property in which a lessee or a tenant holds rights of real property by some form of title from a lessor or landlord. Although a tenant does hold rights to real property, a leasehold estate is typically considered personal property. Leasehold is a form of land tenure or property tenure where one party buys the right to occupy land or a building for a given length of time. As a lease is a legal estate, leasehold estate can be bought and sold on the open market. A leasehold thus differs from a freehold or fee simple where the ownership of a property is purchased outright and thereafter held for an indeterminate length of time, and also differs from a tenancy where a property is let (rented) on a periodic basis such as weekly or monthly. Terminology and types of leasehold vary from country to country. Sometimes, but not always, a residential tenancy under a lease agreement is colloquially known as renting. The leaseholder has the right to remain in occupation for a fixed period, generally measured in months or years. Terms of the agreement are contained in a lease, which has elements of contract and property law intertwined.

  1. leasehold

    A leasehold is a type of property tenure or ownership where a person holds or leases the property for a specific period of time through a contractual agreement known as a lease. The individual who rents or occupies the property is called the leaseholder or tenant, while the one who owns the land or property is called the landlord. The duration of a leasehold can vary widely, from months to many years. The leaseholder has the right to use and occupy the property but does not own the property outright, and must return it to the landlord at the end of the specified lease period.
