Talking about present condition

Hi,



I read the following sentence in the media. I am a bit confused about the use of simple present tense in the sentence. Shouldn’t it be ‘has been leased’ instead of ‘is leased’? I think the simple present is used only to talk about repetitive things. For example, “The product is then sold customers.” Here they are talking about a present condition.



1. The property is leased on a 25 year term to Advance Engineered Corporation.



Thanks.



MG.

There is nothing wrong with the present tense here. I see nothing wrong with the present perfect, either.
