Licences and leases
A lease or licence should be used when:
- the length of the community use arrangement is for a period exceeding 12 months (not-for-profit and for-profit) or
- the community use arrangement is a commercial venture (regardless of time frame). Refer to the definitions in section 1.3 of the Community Use of School Facilities implementation procedures for more information.
Use a licence when the operator's use of the space is not exclusive (some licences may entail exclusive use). Use a lease when the operator has exclusive use of the space.
