The Demise Print
The part of the lease known as the demise is short but crucial – it is where the leasehold interest is created. In this clause, the landlord agrees to let the Property to the tenant for the agreed term, reserves the rent and sets out the rights granted to the tenant and those reserved by the landlord. The items included in the rent are usually set out in full in this clause. The Property, the term and the rights may also be set out in the demise but are usually defined elsewhere in the lease and simply referred to here, because this makes the drafting neater.
