Each tenant named on the agreement is legally responsible to pay the rent. Not paying, or being behind in rent payments may mean the tenant is given a termination notice, which could make it harder for them to rent another property in the future.
What is a lessee responsible for?
The lessee is the party who gets the right to use an asset for a specific period and makes periodic payments to the lessor based on their initial agreement. For the duration of the lease period, the lessee is responsible for taking care of the asset and conducting regular maintenance as necessary.
Does IFRS 16 affect lessor?
Under IFRS 16, lessors account for finance leases by initially derecognising the asset and recognising a receivable for the net investment in the lease. Initial direct costs (other than those incurred by a manufacturer or dealer lessor) are included in the net investment in the lease.
Does IFRS 16 affect net income?
The impact of IFRS 16 on net income depends on the average age of lease contracts. A higher discount rate and longer lease term increase the amount of interest relative to depreciation and hence the magnitude of the front-loading effect. Both these effects are illustrated by the model below.
When does lessee have to pay rent to lessor?

How does rental accounting differ from lessee accounting?
Unlike in lessee accounting treatment, the lessee, for tax purposes, does not recognize an asset, but rather claims as rental expense the amount of rent paid or accrued including all expenses that, under the terms of the agreement, the lessee is required to pay to or for the account of the lessor.
Is the lessor required to reassess lease classification?
Lessees and lessors have the option to elect a package of practical expedients, in which the lessor is not required to reassess lease classification. Therefore, we expect many lessors to elect this expedient and retain previously established lease classifications when transitioning from ASC 840 to ASC 842.
What happens to the lessee when the lease expires?
On the expiry of the contract period and depending on the condition of the asset, the asset or property is returned to the lessor, although the lessee may have an option to purchase the asset.
