Lessor
The owner of land, a house, or other property who sells the right to use the property for a set period of time. Sometimes, this includes the right to develop land belonging to another, but normally it is the right to live on or use an already developed property. The contract governing a lessor's rights is a lease; it generally includes the lessee's right to use the property under certain conditions without undue interference from the lessor for the period of time described in the lease. In exchange, the lessee pays rent.
