Renting
Renting is an agreement where a payment is made for the temporary use of a good or
property owned by another person or company. The
owner of the property may be referred to as the lessor and the party paying to use the property as the lessee or renter. There is typically an implied, explicit, or written
rental agreement or
contract involved to specify the terms of the rental. Examples include: Renting
real estate for the purpose of
Housing tenure (where the lessee rents a residence to live in),
parking a vehicle(s), storage, business, agricultural, institutional, or government use, or other reasons. When renting real estate, the person(s) or party who lives in or occupies the real estate is often called a
tenant, paying rent to the owner of the property, often called a
landlord. The real estate rented may be all or part of almost any real estate, such as an
apartment,
house,
building, business office(s) or suite, land, farm, or merely an inside or outside space to park a vehicle, or store things. The rental agreement for real estate is often called a lease.The renting of
