A lease is a form of contract that is construed in accordance with the standard rules of contract interpretation. N.A.P.P. Realty Trust v. CC Enterprises, 147 N.H. 137, 139 (2001). Language used by the parties to the agreement should be given its standard meaning as understood by reasonable people. Echo Consulting Services v. North Conway Bank, 140 N.H. 566, 569 (1995). In the absence of ambiguity, the intent of the parties to a lease is to be determined from the plain meaning of the language used. Id. The proper interpretation of a lease is ultimately a question of law for this court to determine. N.A.P.P. Realty Trust, 147 N.H. at 139.
