If the lease under which the property is acquired is short, the fixed installment method or straight line method of depreciation can be applied conveniently. If on the other hand, it be a long lease, the annuity method of depreciation would be more suitable. The value of the leasehold property should be written off during the term of the lease and the rate of depreciation should be fixed accordingly.
