Topic: Domain Name Leasing?

Has anyone here ever leased a domain name?

The one I want is already taken, though currently unused, and the guy who owns it has said I can lease the domain.

My problem with this is; would I have any legal ground to stand on should this owner suddenly terminate the lease and decide to sell the domain (conveniently after I had built a nice steady flow of traffic to the site)

I dont want to waste time building up a site on a leased domain if you guys think it will cause problems down the line, especially considering I could buy my own domain for a couple of $$.

Any feedback / advice appreciated, many thanks
