Morphology

leaser = lease (transparent) = lease + er

Standard agent‑forming suffix '-er' attaches to the verb 'lease' producing an expected meaning 'one who leases (out)', which is predictable for learners.

Etymology

Leaser comes from the verb lease, which means 'to let' or 'allow someone to use' property, so a leaser in this sense is the person or company who 'lets' the property to others and so grants the lease.
