Define Long Term Lease in Real Estate

Long Term Lease: 

A long term lease is when someone rents a property for a really long time, often many years. It's like renting a house or an apartment, but for a much longer time than usual.

Example: 

Let's say you wanted to live in a house for ten years, but you didn't want to buy it. You could sign a long term lease with the owner, which would let you live there for the whole ten years.

Oh me, oh my, a lease so long,
Ten years or more, it can't be wrong.
The tenant's happy as can be,
A space to rent, for quite a spree.
