A quick definition of community lease:
A community lease is a contract where many people who own different pieces of land agree to let one person use it in exchange for money. This person can use the land for a certain amount of time and has to pay rent. The contract is usually written down and is called a lease agreement. There are many different types of leases, like a commercial lease for businesses or a ground lease for just the land.A more thorough explanation:
Definition: A community lease is a type of lease in which multiple lessors who own separate tracts of land execute a lease in favor of a single lessee. It is a contract by which the rightful possessor of real property conveys the right to use and occupy the property in exchange for consideration, usually rent.
Example: A group of farmers who own separate tracts of land may execute a community lease in favor of a single lessee, such as a solar energy company. The solar energy company can then use the land to install solar panels and generate electricity. The farmers receive rent payments in exchange for the use of their land, and the solar energy company benefits from having access to multiple tracts of land in one lease.
This example illustrates how a community lease allows multiple landowners to come together and lease their land to a single lessee, providing benefits for both parties.
