A Ground Lease is an agreement between the owner of vacant land or property (the “landlord” or “lessor”) and an individual or entity who wants to develop or improve the property (the “tenant” or “lessee”). The lease is for the right to occupy real estate comprised of only dirt and soil, so the land could be used by the tenant for multiple uses ranging from agricultural to residential or commercial purposes.

Unlike a Lease or Rental Agreement, a Roommate Agreement is between the Tenants or Roommates, not between the Landlord and Tenants.
