Describe the key characteristic of a leasehold estate.

  1. Leasehold estates have no time limits

  2. Leasehold estates grant permanent ownership

  3. Leasehold estates have exclusive property use rights

  4. Leasehold estates exist for a fixed period of time

The correct answer is: Leasehold estates exist for a fixed period of time

A leasehold estate is a type of property ownership where the property is held for a specific, fixed period of time. This means that the ownership of the property will expire after a certain amount of time, unlike a freehold estate where the owner has permanent ownership rights. Options A and B are incorrect because they do not accurately describe this key characteristic of a leasehold estate. Option C is also incorrect as it does not specifically mention the limited time period of a leasehold estate.
