Operating leasing is a type of leasing, its essence is a short-term lease. After the expiration of the lease, property goes back to the lessor. The possible transfer of ownership of the leased asset to the lessee is not a contractual right. The lease period for operating leases is shorter than the economic life of the subject of the lease.
