Lease term

The life of a lease, including any renewal options.

Lease Term

The interval between the time a lease goes into effect and its expiration. This applies to both open-end leases and close-end leases. For example, one may rent an apartment (usually open-end) with a 12 month lease term, or one may lease a car (generally close-end) with a five year lease term. The lease term may or may not be renewed, depending on the type of lease and the agreement between the parties.

Generally, if a lease comes under section 467, the lessor and the lessee must account for the rental income and deductions in accordance with the lease terms. If any rental payments are due after the end of a rental period, interest must be attributed to these payments on a present value basis; as such, a portion of the lease payments may be recharacterized as interest over the lease term.
