Leveraged Lease
Definition of 'Leveraged Lease'A lease agreement that is partially financed by the lessor through a third-party financial institution.

Investopedia explains 'Leveraged Lease'In a leveraged lease, if the lessee stops making payments to the lessor, then the lessor stops making payments to the financial institution (lender). This allows the lender to repossess the property. The lessor may also have the right to retain the property upon lessee default, as long as the lessor continues making payments to the lender. |
