A license agreement is not considered a lease; while both involve using someone else's property, a license grants a limited, revocable permission to use the property, while a lease conveys exclusive possession of the property for a set period, giving the tenant more substantial rights and security of tenure.
Key differences:
Exclusive possession:
A lease grants exclusive possession of the property to the tenant, while a license does not.
Revocability:
A license can be revoked at any time by the property owner, while a lease generally cannot be terminated without specific legal grounds.
Transferability:
A lease can usually be assigned to another party, whereas a license is typically not transferable.
