What is the primary intention behind a Ground lease?

  1. For the tenant to use the land without building

  2. For the landlord to build structures for the tenant

  3. Rental of land for the tenant to build on it

  4. For short-term rental agreements

The correct answer is: Rental of land for the tenant to build on it

Ground leases are primarily used for long-term use of land, typically for a period of 99 years or more. Option A is incorrect because a ground lease typically involves building on the land. Option B is incorrect because it does not align with the purpose of a ground lease, which is for the tenant to build on the land. Option D is incorrect because ground leases are usually long-term agreements, not short-term. Overall, the primary intention behind a ground lease is for the tenant to have the right to use and develop the land for a longer period of time without having to purchase it outright.
