I'm afraid it is...
1lease noun \ˈlēs\
: a legal agreement that lets someone use a car, house, etc., for a period of time in return for payment
Full Definition of LEASE

2: a piece of land or property that is leased
3: a continuance or opportunity for continuance <a new lease on life> (M-W)
Newspapers and TV stations are not law libraries there, Perry Mason.
Oh brother. I just gave you the legal definition of what leases and contracts are from BLACKS LAW DICTIONARY! My goodness you are dense.
And I just pointed out -- maybe you forgot to read this too-- that a newspaper or TV station IS NOT A FREAKING LAW LIBRARY. They report in colloquial language -- not technical.
What difference does that make? I'm studying law for a potential degree in law which I plan to use to become a paralegal. In my line of study, I work by technicality, not by Merriam Webster's English Dictionary. So as I stated before, a lease takes the form of an agreement, whereas a contract is legally binding and enforceable.
