Investopedia explains 'Lease Extension'

A lease extension could be executed between a landlord and a tenant, when the tenant's lease is about to expire and he or she wants to continue renting the property. Another situation where a lease extension might be desirable is if a consumer is leasing a vehicle from an auto dealership and opts to lease or purchase a different vehicle at the end of the lease term, but wants to temporarily continue using the original leased vehicle because the replacement vehicle is not yet available.
