An experimental can not be rented/leased. (1 special exception applies: an owner of an experimental can (maybe) get a special letter of authorization to charge for the use of his/her experimental aircraft for the purposes of transition training)
So, no. An experimental can not be put on leasback at a flightschool.
(Everything I write is my opinon only. I take no reposnibility for errors.)
A very special situation, but just to explanded on what you said - I flew for a company that leased a few experimental types. Also - the Foundation where I did my experimental type rating has that special letter that you are talking about in order to give such training required for the type.
