A lease involves a grant of the right of exclusive possession for a certain period of time as per Radaich v Smith where it was held that whether the transaction creates a lease or licence depends on the intention of the parties regarding what relationship the lessee shall have to the land. It does not matter whether the terms ‘licensee’ or ‘tenant’ are used, as it is a matter of substance rather than form. In the present case, there is an agreement that states the duration of the tenancy as being one year and the rent as $1000 per month. Thus certainty of duration is clearly stated. It is therefore a matter of whether the right of exclusive possession has been granted. Here the tenant is entitled to uninterrupted possession for the full …show more content…
The lease is not registered and being a one-year lease, it is protected as an exception to the indefeasibility principle as a short-term lease under the relevant statutes except the Law of Property Act 1936 (SA). There is no need to execute a lease and the agreement may take effect via an oral agreement.
In terms of leases under the Torrens system, registration of the lease is not compulsory and short-term leases may be protected from subsequent registration, despite the fact that it has not been registered.
Law of Property Act 1936 (SA) s 30(2) states oral agreements are valid for leases of less than 3 years.
Real Property Act 1886 (SA) ss119 and ss119A, state that a lease for less than one year does not need to be registered and that the registered owners title (Charlie) will be subject to the tenants interests, meaning that a lease (less than a year) is an exception (s. 69(h)) to indefeasibility under the Real Property Act but after the 12 months Charlie can take possession of the house by terminating the lease, which ends anyway, he has a reversion subject to the lease. Also as the lease is not registered the right to renew after 12 months is not protected in any case under the act. The lease is a legal interest even though it is not registered.

Needspace entered a operating lease with WeHaveIt for 10-Year Lease term.Lease agreements have certain provisions depending on how the contract is written by the lessor to the lessee and what type of lease agreement.

Section 1, titled terms lists the terms of the contract. The terms of the agreement must be definite and certain. All material terms must be included. The material terms allow a court to determine what the damages are in the event that one of the parties breach the terms of the contract. Section 1, of Exhibit D: Commercial Lease Agreement list the date the lease starts and the date the lease ends. It then lists the damages that the tenant may take if the landlord is not able to provide the leased premises in a timely manner. The section then goes on to state the terms of the renewal process. The process of renewing the lease is set with a written notice of 90 days. This process is definite and certain. The renewal provision then states that the terms shall be at the rental listed in the below sections of the agreement and upon the same covenants, conditions and provisions as contained in the lease agreement. Both the terms listed to lease the premises and to renew the contract is definite and certain and it lists the material terms.
ASC 410-20-15-3(e) also states that the lessee’s obligation to perform a retirement activity shall be recorded as ARO unless the payment meets the definition of minimum lease payments or contingent rentals under the lease accounting literature (ASC 840, Leases). Per ASC 840-10-25-5, the minimum leases payment is any costs obligated to make in connection with the leased property. However, the lessee’s obligation to restore the leased asset to the original condition is related to the leasehold improvement, not directly related to the leased asset. Accordingly, the cost of removing the leasehold improvements is not part of the minimum lease payment. In addition, due to the ‘no renewal option’ and ‘no ability to negotiate for the renewal’ under the lease agreement, it is certain that NeedsLease will incur costs to restore the leased property to its original condition in 10 years, which excludes the ‘contingency’. Therefore, the cost of reinstating to the property’s original condition should be accounted as ARO in accordance with ASC 410-20. Per ASC 410-20-25-4, ARO should be recognized at its fair value of reasonably estimated future cash flows and to offset the liability, the lessee capitalize the
Case 11-6 deals with Lessee Ltd., a company that operates in Britain and uses IFRS. The question in this case is how to classify a lease that Lessee, Ltd. acquired from Lessor Inc. The accounting standard that deals with leases under IFRS is IAS 17. IAS 17 was originally issued in September 1982 and was reissued in December 2003. It classifies leases as either finance leases or operating leases. Finance leases make it so that the lessee recognizes an asset and a liability and the lessor recognizes a receivable, basically transferring all the risks and benefits of ownership. Under operating leases, the lessor still recognizes the asset and the lessee recognizes an expense.
