like 'rent' you can use this word in both directions. Are you thinking it might be like borrow/lend? No, it's not that complicated...

Hi,
Nona, thanks for your reply.
But I have another concern. If the word "lease" can be used in both directions, how could I know the meaning of "the property leased by the enterprise" or "leased property"?

If you read "the property leased by Company X" then I would assume Company X is leasing the property FROM an un-named landlord.

Grammar Geek,
How can I use the word "lease" to express "the property which is rented out by a company"

You need some context. We don't hear something all by itself and know immediately what is meant.
If the prior sentences have to do with a company with excess properties, you may assume it means that company leases it to someone else.
Can you give more context and the sentence you want to use?

Dear Grammar Geek,
The context is in Chinese.
Actually, I only want to know the direction of the word "lease". It seems that it can be used in both directions.
