Word origin

The term 'leaseholder' originated in the real estate sector and has been in use since the mid-19th century. It is derived from the combination of the words 'lease' and 'holder', referring to a person who holds a lease on a property. Leaseholders play a crucial role in the rental market by providing a stable source of income for property owners while enjoying the benefits of occupying a property without owning it outright.
