Unfortunately, RIPE has never used the word "lease" after 2001. The word "lease" was removed when the doc became policy:
In countries whose legal system is derived from the british legal code, the word "lease" can attract the attention of the tax authorities who like to feel that all leases should be officially stamped and should therefore incur a stamp duty of several per cent of the lease cost. It's unfortunate that the word is polluted in this way - in other respects, it seems like an ideal word to use in these circumstances.
