The Tarrant County Lease Incentive Program (LIP) is designed for new moves, to provide assistance for security deposits, application fees, hotel/motel charges (see below) and hard to house fees to Tarrant County renters outside the cities of Arlington and Fort Worth who have been directly impacted by COVID-19.
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.
The short answer is for life. Once a lease expires, the tenant becomes month to month, and each state governs how much notice the tenant and landlord have to give. But there's no maximum term for a tenant once they're month to month.
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.

Long-term leases are anything longer than six months and can go up to 15 months before needing to make a new lease. Long-term leases are usually preferred by landlords since they guarantee a longer stream of rent payments, but the lease term duration can vary depending on the goals you're trying to achieve.
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.
The proper real estate terminology depends on the state and local laws, but generally: Rental agreements are usually short-term or month-to-month. A standard lease is for more extended periods (six months or one year)
Non-renewal Though you may not wish to end a lease early in some instances, you may also have no desire to renew it. In this case, Section 94.055 of the Texas Property Code will apply. It stipulates that you will need to provide the tenant with a notice of no less than 60 days before the lease's expiry date.
Key Features of Long-Term Leases These leases typically extend beyond 5 years and can last up to 25 years or more. While these often require more front-end legal work, they offer tenants more certainty.
