{"id":932,"count":1,"description":"What is a lessor?\r\n\r\nA lessor refers to a person or an entity that grants a lease. When the lease granted is for temporary use of real property, the term most commonly used for \u201clessor\u201d is \u201clandlord.\u201d\r\n\r\nIn commercial real estate, the lessor grants use of a commercial space, under a lease agreement. The agreement establishes the lessor\u2019s rights, as well as obligations, regarding the leased property, for the duration of the lease.\r\n\r\nIn exchange for temporary use of the lessor\u2019s property, the tenant (lessee) makes either a one-time payment or periodic payments. The advantage to the lessor of such investments is that the landlord retains ownership of the real estate asset, while generating a return on the investment.\r\n\r\nThe lessor is generally required to lease the property free from damage, or disclose any damage to the property, before the lease agreement is completed. Then, depending on the type of lease that is agreed upon, the lessor will more or less be responsible for the upkeep.\r\n\r\nYou might also be interested in:\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-equity\/\">How to increase\/build equity?<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-equity\/\">How to reduce equity?<\/a>\r\n\r\nSearch other terms\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#A\">A<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#B\">B<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#C\">C<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#D\">D<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#E\">E<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#F\">F<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#G\">G<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#H\">H<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#I\">I<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#J\">J<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#K\">K<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#L\">L<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#M\">M<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#N\">N<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#O\">O<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#P\">P<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#Q\">Q<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#R\">R<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#S\">S<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#T\">T<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#U\">U<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#V\">V<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#W\">W<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#X\">X<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#Y\">Y<\/a>\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/sitemap#Z\">Z<\/a>\r\n\r\nPopular terms\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-amortization\/\">Amortization<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-equity\/\">Equity <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-notary-public\/\">Notary Public <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-progression-regression\/\">Progression\/Regression<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-acquisition\/\">Acquisition <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-annuity\/\">Annuity <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-asset\/\">Asset <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-fiduciary\/\">Fiduciary <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-inflation\/\">Inflation <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-contingency\/\">Contingency <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-escrow\/\">Escrow<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-power-of-attorney\/\">Power of attorney <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-real-estate-agent\/\">Real Estate Agent <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-eminent-domain\/\">Eminent Domain <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-liability\/\">Liability <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-statute-of-limitations\/\">Statute of Limitations<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-valid\/\">Valid <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-variance\/\">Variance<\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-contiguous\/\">Contiguous <\/a>\r\n\r\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-deficit\/\">Deficit<\/a>","link":"https:\/\/www.commercialcafe.com\/blog\/tag\/cre-term-lessor\/","name":"Lessor","slug":"cre-term-lessor","taxonomy":"post_tag","meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v23.4 (Yoast SEO v24.6) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>What is a Lessor? - Commercial Real Estate Dictionary<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A lessor refers to a person or an entity that grants a lease.
