A lease is the transfer of a right to enjoy certain property.  It is either for a certain period or perpetuity. It is an agreement by which the owner of the property or the lessor transfers his right of possession to the lessee. It is not an absolute transfer of all rights in the property.  It is merely a partial transfer. what is transferred is merely the right of possession and the use of the property. It separates ownership from property.  Ordinarily, a lease is with respect to land. However, every right that can be possessed can be made the subject of a lease. Thus there can be a list of Copyright, a patent, right of way, right to receive interest on government promissory notes.
