About your lease
The lease is a legal contract, which sets out the terms and conditions of your agreement between you (the Leaseholder) and Sheffield City Council (the Lessor).
It is a complex legal document that sets out the obligations and rights of the leaseholder and the Council.
Your lease will have a plan attached showing your property and the building in which it is situated, together with any garden or outbuilding, which may be included in the sale. It will also identify any communal areas that you may be entitled to use within the estate.
The lease is an important legal document and should be kept in a safe place.
You have responsibilities and rights as a leaseholder, as do Sheffield City Council as your landlord. The lease sets out the rights and responsibilities of both parties, which are summarised in this section of the Sheffield Homes website. In addition, you have rights given to you by law – these are called Statutory Rights.
