Shakespeare means that summer is short. In modern day terms, a lease is an agreement to pay for borrowing something for a period of time. Therefore, if we apply that definition to a season like summer, we may conclude that the author is stating that the season "hath all too short a date;" that is, it doesn't last long.
Shakespeare is lamenting the fact that summer is short, and saying that his love lasts much longer than the brevity of the aforementioned season. This idea is not new, but Shakespeare is credited with having been one of the first to compare elements of nature with various human emotions in the form of poetry.
