APCNIC already said it they do not recognize leasing as a justification not only to receive allocations but to keep them for that usage. I will share below part of the response that explains it well:

Fundamental to our commitment to a global, open, stable and secure Internet that serves the entire Asia Pacific region, APNIC resource are delegated based on demonstrated needs.  In order to receive resources (by allocation from APNIC or through transfer from others), the recipient must demonstrate their need for those resources by describing the proposed use of the resources in some specific network infrastructure which they own or control. Implicitly, the recipient could not receive addresses for subsequent reallocation to other purposes, because the actual use of the addresses would be unknown and cannot be subjected to the required assessment of the need.

While APNIC went more to the basics of allocations in that answer,
there are also specific violations that address lessers are likely to
violate:

https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/resources
Section 3.1.3 - "LIRs must only delegate addresses to customers who
will be using those addresses in relation to network connectivity
services provided by the LIR."
Section 3.2.7 - Address stockpiling is forbidden


> APNIC policies also state that if the declared use of allocated resources changes fundamentally, then the resources may be subject to reclamation by APNIC"

https://www.apnic.net/community/policy/resources
Sections 4.0, 4.1 and 4.2 are pretty clear of that. So that makes
AFRINIC, APNIC and LACNIC as RIRs where leasing is a dangerous game to
play.
