You must look deeply into the company you lease IPs too. Have a contract - there is one on RentIPv4.com you can download, copy and modify. (I created it, I say you can do that if you need one.) But the contract is a small part....Because companies come and go. You must be able to verify many things about the company - how long in business - explore previous IPs they utilized... what they plan to do with them, will thier customers spam with them, etc. If not you run a greater risk of getting back IPs that are on international black lists. Many of those will require you to pay a ransom fees to be removed blocks. Thank You Bob Evans CTO

Recently had someone offer to lease some IPv4 address space from me. Have never done that before.
I thought I would ask the group what a reasonable monthly rate for a /22 in the United States might be.
Let me just set up my crystal ball. Perhaps I can divine the future of your address space. Hmmm. It's a little cloudy. A lot of retransmits. What if I adjust this here -- nope, that's upping the packet loss. Maybe ...? Ahh, yes. It's starting to take shape. I see ...
I see your IP space being used for abuse. It's appearing on every blacklist imaginable. Whole segments of the Network null route it. Hmmm. It's being returned to you by the spamm--clients. About a week later. You're sitting there with a couple hundred dollars. And a letter from ARIN. You look .. sad. Yes, definitely sad.
I'd recommend not doing that.
