lesseen

Leseen is a term used in certain contexts to describe a person or entity that has granted a right, permission, or ownership to another. This is often contrasted with the "lessor," who is the one receiving the right, permission, or ownership. In a legal or contractual setting, the concept of a lessen is fundamental to understanding agreements such as leases, licenses, or property transfers.

For example, in a lease agreement, the lessen would be the property owner who allows a tenant (the lessee) to occupy and use their property in exchange for rent. The lessen retains ultimate ownership but grants temporary use and possession. Similarly, in a licensing agreement, the lessen is the owner of intellectual property who grants permission to another party (the licensee) to use that property under specific terms. The specific rights and responsibilities of both the lessen and the other party are typically detailed within the governing contract. The term is less common in everyday language and is more prevalent in legal and business discussions.
