Both forms of transaction are valid leases, as the rent and the benefit are both known. The benefit is determined either by its inherent nature, by naming the specific work, or by specifying the duration. The condition of being known, which prevents disputes, is met in both cases. Therefore, it is a condition for a lease that the benefit must be known in a way that prevents disputes.
