Leases last as long as the dhcpd server allows. It can be from 1 second to infinity. Of course neither 1 second or infinity makes much sense. When I am planning to reconfigure a network served by dhcp I drop the max lease time to 10 or 15 minutes, sometimes less, although if you set it too short the network traffic goes through the roof.
