Assumptions:
1. Each property can have only one owner.
2. Each property can have multiple leases over time with different
clients.
3. A member of staff can manage multiple properties.
4. A client can rent multiple properties over time.
Note: The E-R Diagram is a visual representation of the scenario
described. Due to the limitations of text-based communication, I am
unable to provide a visual diagram in this format. I recommend using a
diagramming tool or software to create the E-R Diagram based on the
