Underlying Ground Lease
While the 3 year oil company is typically treated as a long term lease, because of the provisions in the PMPA, if the oil company does not own the land, a buyer must look to who owns the land and what the terms of the underlying ground lease are. The oil company may have only 5 years left on their land and therefore, have no obligation to the dealer beyond that 5 years.
