In a Lease agreement for a Building being constructed, it may say:
'said premises and the building and other improvements thereon, upon completion of construction, are hereinafter called the "demised premises".'
Etymology and usage: 'Premises' is from Medieval Latin praemissa, a plural word, meaning the "things mentioned before" and was used in legal documents. In Middle English, premises was defined as being "that property, collectively, which is specified in the beginning of a legal document and which is conveyed, as by grant, …". In due course premises was also legally extended to mean "a house or building with its grounds or appurtenances," a usage which was recorded before 1730.
In a general sense today, premises means a piece of land together with the building(s) on it, or even just a building with all its parts. Therefore the word 'premises' is always plural when used in this way.
According to Webster's New World Dictionary the word demise means death, so it's doesn't make sense to the average person to see the term "demised property" referred to in a lease. Lawyers love to use "legal" sounding language in everything they do, but this is "old school, and is going the way of the dinosaur.

on the premises
"Demised" means transferred by lease or otherwise for a limited time "premises" means a tract of land including its buildings or a building together with its grounds or other appurtenances.
it is these premises as the nopun is considered a plural noun according to the Oxford Dictionary.
Demised premises refer to a specific property or space that is leased or rented to a tenant under a lease agreement. This term typically outlines the boundaries of the property being leased, including any structures and land associated with it. The tenant gains exclusive rights to occupy and use the demised premises as stipulated in the lease, while the landlord retains ownership of the property.
You can say either (or 'leasehold premises'). Best avoid 'demised premises' when used in a lay sense however, for the reason mentioned in the question and also because it is an unnecessarily technical term for other than legal reasons. (Solicitor)
It seems to contain a number of objects. That's why it would be right to say ' the premises are...'.
It is crash.
on premises means made on site ie in that kitchen and off premises means made at a different site In the UK 'On premises' and 'Off Premises', generally called On or Off licences, are the licences granted to 'a fit and proper person' for the retail sale of alcoholic beverages. An 'On' licence is granted to places such as public houses or bars to permit the consumption of these beverages on the premises where they are sold. An 'Off' licence is granted to shops and stores where such drinks may be purchased but you are not allowed to consume them in the store.
