The main difference between leasing and renting a property is the length of the contract. Leasehold is usually granted for at least 21 years and can last as long as 999 years.
For example, a tenant agrees to enter into a 10-year lease of a shop, but negotiates an option to walk away at the end of the fifth year. This is the break clause and it gives the tenant some flexibility – and an escape route – if his business does not do well or, if he wants to move into better or bigger premises.
In the law of several US states, a 99-year lease will always be the longest possible contract for realty by statute, but many states have enacted shorter terms and some allow infinite terms.
If the landlord and tenant agree to the term of the rental agreement, the rental agreement may be for any term. If the landlord and tenant disagree on the term of the rental agreement, the rental agreement shall be for twelve months.

Short-term goals are smaller goals (relatively speaking) that are usually set to be achieved within a 90-day window. Sometimes six months or a year, but generally anything longer than a year is a “long-term” goal.
