Lessor is a participant of the lease who owns the property and provides it as a lease subject to the lessee for temporary ownership. For example, in real estate leasehold, the owner is a tenant and the tenant is a tenant. A lessor may be the owner of a property or agent authorized on behalf of the owner. Commercial banks, non-bank credit organizations, leasing companies often act as lessors.

Role of lessor
The process of interaction of the lessor with other participants of the Leasing Contract is as follows:
- The Charter selects the seller who owns the required property
- The lessor gets this property. He acquired the property not for his own use, but exclusively for duties for temporary use.
- The lessor transferred the property to Lessee for temporary use for an agreed payment.
- Upon completion of the contract, depending on the conditions, the property will be returned to the lessor or forwarded to Lessee's ownership.
For the entire time period of the Lease Contract, the property is in the possession of the lessor.
In case of failure to reimburse a rent based on the schedule specified in the contract, the lessor has the right to exempt the property from the Lessee. In the case of the bankruptcy of Lessee, the lessor has priority right to payment.
If a lessor in contravention of the contract has disrupted the seller's choice or subject of lease, he assumes the responsibility not to send equipment, personal injury to citizens while using the subject of leasing, damage caused by the Lessee property and third parties. But there are exceptions to this norm.
In the case of high-value project implementation, the lessor may be involved in additional source transactions of financial assets (through banks, insurance companies, investment funds, etc.).
