Commencement Of The Lease
Is the commencement of the lease, and the resultant rental obligation, according to usage or according to the terms of the contract?
The lease, and the resultant rental obligation on the lessee, commences according to the contract, not according to usage, provided the leased asset is usable at the time the lease period commences. If the rental period has begun, but the tenant has not begun using the property (provided the asset is available to use), the tenant is still obligated to pay rent.
