The term 'LESSEE' is used to refer to a person to whom a lease is granted. A lease is a contract between two parties, the lessor (the owner of the property) and the LESSEE (the tenant). The LESSEE agrees to pay rent for the use of the property and is responsible for any damage or repairs that may be necessary. The LESSEE also has certain rights, such as the right to occupy the property for a specified period of time. The LESSEE is usually required to pay a security deposit and may be subject to certain restrictions, such as not being able to make changes to the property without the permission of the lessor.
