The lease is open to one page and the bill is still in the envelope. Lease Jacket is for that paperwork: the clause you can point at, the line on this month's invoice, and the letter someone asked you to sign.

Lease Abstract is one page of the lease. CAM and Rent is one line on the bill. Notice and Estoppel is one letter and the date on it.

Each page finishes one document. A date or a dollar figure is an illustrative example unless you are reading it off the paper in your hand.
