AFAIK both DHCPD and KEA will keep track of who gets which address and hand 
these out each time the device connects again even if the lease has run out.

I use 30min lease time and even after a couple of months the device gets the 
same address. This is standard and now and again someone wants a new and random 
address, mostly ISPs that charge for you getting the same address - semi fixed 
addressing.

The only thing that will prevent this is if the lease has been handed out to 
another device and that will only happen if there are no other addresses to 
give out than previously used addresses.

This was the other part of your requirement as I read it.
