The document says “means”Who acts: CongressHow: statuteSec. 2 in the PDF
What the document says
“The term ``leasehold mortgage'' means a mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument that pledges the leasehold interest of a lessee as security for a debt or other obligation owed by the lessee to a lender or other mortgagee.”
A leasehold mortgage pledges a lessee's interest in the lease rather than the land itself.
What the document actually says
“The term ``leasehold mortgage'' means a mortgage, deed of trust, or other instrument that pledges the leasehold interest of a lessee as security for a debt or other obligation owed by the lessee to a lender or other mortgagee.”
That sentence, in plain words
A lease loan puts up the renter's rights in the land as backing for a debt.
What this is about
A lease lets a person use land they do not own. That right can back a loan.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page
number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary,
not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the
quotation rather than replacing it.
