The commencement date of a lease is the date that marks the beginning of the period of time during which a lessee is entitled to exercise the right to use a leased asset. This is the date on which lease accounting begins.

Lease Commencement Date Example 1 The lease may state that August 1 is the start date, and that is when the first rent payment will take place. However, the new tenant (the lessee) may be granted access to the premises a month early, on July 1, in order to furnish and renovate the offices.

At the commencement date, a lessee shall recognise a right-of-use asset and a lease liability.

While the start date, move-in date, rent commencement date or commencement date may signify the date when various aspects of the agreement come into effect, the Lease Commencement Date is the date when possession or control of the leased asset is transferred from the lessor to the lessee.

ASC 842 is a lease accounting standard by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB), requiring all leases longer than 12 months to be reflected on a company's balance sheet. This enhances financial transparency by giving a clear picture of an entity's lease obligations.

In the ASC 842 glossary, it defines the commencement date as: The date on which a lessor makes an underlying asset available for use by a lessee.

Effective Dates of the New Lease Accounting Standards Lease Standard Effective Date for Public Companies: fiscal years starting after December 15 , 2018. Lease Standard Effective Date for Non-Public Organizations: fiscal years starting after December 15, 2021.

Count Number of Months Between Two Dates For example: In a 3 year lease that commenced on 2/1/2020 the lease would end on 1/31/2023. In a 5 year lease that started on 3/1/2020 the lease would expire on 2/28/2025.

On the lease commencement date, a lessee is required to measure and record a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, discounted using the rate implicit in the lease (or if that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate).
