Leases

We have entered into operating leases for towers, office and warehouse space, vehicles and heavy equipment used in our operations. The remaining lease terms range from one to 13 years and generally provide for the payment of taxes, insurance and maintenance by the lessee. Renewal options exist for certain of these leases.

The related future minimum lease payments at September 30, 2018 were as follows:

Future minimum lease payments do not include amounts for fleet leases and other de minimis items that can be renewed beyond the initial lease term. The Company anticipates renewing the leases beyond the initial term, but the anticipated payments associated with the renewals do not meet the definition of expected minimum lease payments and therefore are not included above. Expected payments are $17.7 million in 2019, $14.7 million in 2020, $11.3 million in 2021, $8.0 million in 2022, $4.6 million in 2023 and $2.3 million thereafter.

Consolidated lease and rental expense amounted to $33.8 million, $32.7 million and $32.6 million for fiscal 2018, 2017 and 2016.
