An equipment lease agreement is a contractual agreement where the lessor, who is the owner of the equipment, allows the lessee to use the equipment for a specified period in exchange for periodic payments. The subject of the lease may be vehicles, factory machines, or any other equipment.

A lessee is defined as the entity paying for the use of specific property from a lessor. For example, if a person leases a vehicle from a car dealership, the person using the car is the lessee. Conceptually, the lessee is paying the lessor for the ?right to use? the asset.

Lessee: What's the difference? In a lease agreement, the lessor is the person or party that issues the lease (allows the property to be rented), and the lessee is the person that the lease is granted to (the person paying rent to use the property).

For example, if a car dealership leases a vehicle to someone, the car is the asset. The person renting the car is the lessee and the dealership is the lessor. The lessee pays the dealership, or lessor, for the right to use the vehicle for an agreed-upon amount of time.

The lessor is more generally known as the landlord, and the lessee as the tenant. An act done by a wrongdoer, not under the lessor's order, will not justify the lessee in quitting.

An equipment lease is a contractual agreement between the owner of the equipment and a lessee who wants to use the equipment for a specific period in exchange for set payments. In some cases, the lease allows the lessee to purchase the equipment at the end of the term with a balloon, or large, payment.
