Okay, but since none of this is visible as part of the "API" that exists from 
LeaseFactory/Landlord's perspective, I believe this is a Landlord implementation 
detail.  That's why I said before, that the Landlord might be more integrated 
into the granter than the interface alludes to, so that the granter can either 
be a part of what renew() decides, or provide additional parameters when 
creating an instance of a particular Landlord implementation.
