Equipment Lease Agreement

An equipment lease agreement is a contractual document that states all the conditions of leasing equipment between owner and user.

In a lease arrangement, the owner of the equipment is also called the lessor whereas, the user is known as the lessee. This equipment can be a vehicle, instrument or any other object that is given to the user for a specific period in exchange for periodic payments during the duration of the lease as decided by the owner. However, ownership of the equipment stays with the lessor and he is allowed to take any action.
