Investopedia explains 'Lease '

Leases are the contracts that lay out the details of rental agreements in the real estate market. For example, if you want to rent an apartment, the lease will describe how much the monthly rent is, when it is due, what will happen if you don't pay, how much of a security deposit is required, the duration of the lease, whether you are allowed to have pets, how many occupants may live in the unit and any other essential information. The landlord will require you to sign the lease before you can occupy the property as a tenant.
