A: More details are needed, but in discovery the only objections can be if it's not relevant (and the lease clearly is relevant in a landlord tenant / real property matter). The lease can also be treated as confidential if making it public could cause harm to one of the parties. Other than that, you have to disclose it and it's best to keep a detailed record of the disclosure / protect the originals.
