  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Lease: A contract transferring the use of property or occupancy of land, space, structures, or equipment in consideration of a payment (e.g., rent). Source: OCC
  • Lease: means a transfer of the right to possession and use

    of goods for a term in return for consideration, but a sale,

    including a sale on approval or a sale or return, or

    retention or creation of a security interest is not a lease. See N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code 2-A-103
  • Lease contract: means the total legal obligation that

    results from the lease agreement as affected by this Article

    and any other applicable rules of law. See N.Y. Uniform Commercial Code 2-A-103

The affixing of a seal to a writing evidencing a lease contract or an offer to enter into a lease contract does not render the writing a sealed instrument and the law with respect to sealed instruments does not apply to the lease contract or offer.
