   Out of their hands, and merry leasings tell. Hub. Tale.

   That false pilgrim which that leasing told,
   Was indeed old Archimago. Edmund Spenser, Fairy Queen.

   I have ever narrified my friends
   With all the size that verity
   Would without lapsing suffer: nay, sometimes,
   Like to a bowl upon a subtle ground
   I’ve tumbl’d past the throw; and in his praise
   Have almost stampt the leasing. William Shakespeare, Coriolanus.

   As folks, quoth Richard, prone to leasing,
   Say things at first, because they’re pleasing;
   Then prove what they have once asserted,
   Nor care to have their lie deserted:
   Till their own dreams at length deceive them,
   And oft repeating they believe them. Matthew Prior.

   Trading free shall thrive again,
   Nor leasings leud affright the swain. John Gay, Pastorals.

1. leasing

   A lease is a contractual arrangement calling for the user (referred to as the lessee) to pay the owner (referred to as the lessor) for the use of an asset. Property, buildings and vehicles are common assets that are leased. Industrial or business equipment are also leased. Basically a lease agreement is a contract between two parties: the lessor and the lessee. The lessor is the legal owner of the asset, while the lessee obtains the right to use the asset in return for regular rental payments. The lessee also agrees to abide by various conditions regarding their use of the property or equipment. For example, a person leasing a car may agree to the condition that the car will only be used for personal use.

1. Leasing

   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. The lessee is the receiver of the services or the assets under the lease contract and the lessor is the owner of the assets. The relationship between the tenant and the landlord is called a tenancy, and can be for a fixed or an indefinite period of time. The consideration for the lease is called rent. A gross lease is when the tenant pays a flat rental amount and the landlord pays for all property charges regularly incurred by the ownership from lawnmowers and washing machines to handbags and jewellry. Under normal circumstances, a freehold owner of property is at liberty to do what they want with their property, including destroy it or hand over possession of the property to a tenant. However, if the owner has surrendered possession to another then any interference with the quiet enjoyment of the property by the tenant in lawful possession is unlawful. Similar principles apply to real property as well as to personal property, though the terminology would be different. Similar principles apply to sub-leasing, that is the leasing by a tenant in possession to a sub-tenant. The right to sub-lease can be expressly prohibited by the main lease.
