Is it proper to say demised premises instead of leased premises?

In: Uncategorized [Edit categories]

Answer:

According to Webster's New World Dictionary
the word demise means death, so it's doesn't
make sense to the average person to see the
term "demised property" referred to in a lease.

Lawyers love to use "legal" sounding language
in everything they do, but this is "old school, and
is going the way of the dinosaur.
