# Tenant Quotas and VM Leases

To ensure that no single tenant can use more than their entitled amount of physical computing resources limits can be applied in the form of quotas and Virtual Machine lease controls.

**Info**

**Note:** User level quotas can be used for controlling individual users limits. User level quotas override tenant quotas for the respective users.
{% endhint %}

You must be an administrator to edit, create, and delete quotas and leases.

### Virtual Machine Lease Settings

A virtual machine lease controls how long a single virtual machine created by a user in a given tenant may exist, measured in days. Setting a virtual machine lease will cause any virtual machine created under the defined tenant to be automatically deleted once the lease age is met.
