Legal Question in Landlord & Tenant Law in New York
License Agreement instead of a Rental Lease
I saw an apt recently, and the landlord is asking that I sign a License Agreement instead of a Lease. Are they the same thing?

They are not the same and depending on where (and type) the property is, it may not be enforceable.

No. A license can be revoked, a lease can not. A lease offers you protections that a license does not.
