Leasehold Estate

by | Feb 5, 2026

In real estate law, a Leasehold Estate is an interest in property held by a tenant under a lease agreement for a specified term. It grants the tenant the right to possess and use the property during the lease period.

A leasehold estate is considered a personal property interest rather than real property. Ownership of the property remains with the landlord, while the tenant’s rights are limited to those provided in the lease.
