Shorter leases tend to be called tenancies, longer leases tend to be referred to as
leases, but for all practical purposes, the terms mean the same thing under Law of
Property Act:
Section 1(1) Law of Property Act 1925 - The only estates in land which are
capable of subsisting or of being conveyed or created at law are:
(i) An estate in fee simple absolute in possession (Freehold)
(ii) A term of years absolute (Leasehold)
Licence
Licence is a personal arrangement between licensor and licensee under which the
licensee may occupy the licensor’s property for a specific purpose. (For example
hotel – paying money in return for a room).
Difference Between Lease and Licence:
Lease - is an interest in land. It offers security of tenure for an agreed terms upon
agreed conditions and may give rise to statutory protection for the tenant.
Licence – Merely a personal permission to do something that would otherwise be a
trespass. It is less secure and will not give rise to statuary protection.
If you entered into Lease, you create a legal interest, whereas licence is more of a
personal.

as “letting” the property.
Tenant / Lessee – The person to whom the lease is granted.

and which continues indefinitely form one rent period to the next, until being
