In Accounting, long-term typically refers to anything longer than one year. This includes leases.
An operating lease is not shown on the balance sheet. They are charged directly to the profit and loss. Financial leases are the types of leases where the company will own the asset when they've paid off all the lease payments. This type of lease is shown in liabilities, it will be split showing what's due in one year (current) and the rest due after one year (long term).
No investments in other business are normally for long term basis. If investments are for long term then long term assets otherwise current assets.
IRC Section 1241 specifies that payments received by the lessee for the cancellation of a lease are to be treated as a payment in exchange for the sale of the lease. Assuming you were using the property (as opposed to holding it in inventory, for example you were a real estate broker), the lease would be a capital asset. So the payment would be a capital gain (long or short term depending on how long you held the lease).
According to Investopedia, something requires a few things to be considered a capital lease. The first thing is that the life of the lease must be 75% or greater of the assets useful life. Another thing is that the lessee gains ownership of the object being leased at the end of the lease period.
Long-term liabilities are generally considered to be those debts that will not mature (or come due) for over a year. Current liabilities are generally considered to be those obligations that come due within the year. Current liabilities do; however, include more than just debt. Generally current liabilities will include anything that must be paid within the next year that is not directly related to the costs of production (because the company could stop producing widgets, but would still have to make lease payments, etc.). Companies with long-term liabilities whose payments include principal will occasionally show the principal portion of the long-term liabilities that will be paid in the current year within the current liabilities (and remove those principal payments from the long-term liabilities).
Typically any lease less than 6 months would be considered a short term lease. Common short term leases are month to month and 3 month leases
I'd suggest finding an easy lease with flexible terms which will serve you better in the big picture than differing between a long term or a short term lease. Leasing shouldn't be complicated and finding an easy lease (http://officewarehousespace.net/easy-lease-program/) where you can name the terms is the ticket.
