Talk:Renting

message: The article for Letting redirects to this article but then the article itself does not mention anything about how the practice of letting differs from renting, which might be different in the UK than in the states, I'm not sure that's what I came here to find out.  If the article is going to redirect it should at least make a cursory mention on the topic that is being redirected. -- GIR (talk) 00:11, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the problem here is that in British English Renting is distinct from Letting.  Letting is the action of the the landlord/owner (person who receives rent) in relation to their property.  Renting is the action of the tenant (person who pays rent) in relation to a property they pay to use.  The two are not interchangeable.  Either the article should be rewritten to reflect this, or the letting and renting pages separated.  simonthebold (talk) 14:31, 23 January 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: I am okay with splitting to two articles (or possibly having to sections within one article).  I am in the U.S. and we do not usually use the term "Let": I believe we use the same term whether from perspective of landlord or tenant, calling it either rent (short term) or lease (fixed term) [although these terms can sometimes be somewhat interchangeable in their typical use].  But we certainly distinguish lessor and lessee or landlord and tenant. Please see the new section I created below re: Rental agreement that is related. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:14, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Letting vs. Renting 

message: This page should explain whether "renting" is also a synonym of "leasing", and it needs mention of leasing of business premises, not just for residential purposes (strangely called "housing tenure"), and it needs a "real" link to leasing, not just under "See also". --Espoo 13:35, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Leasing vs. Renting 

message: I think they should remain seperate articles.  Rental agreement is such a detailed article and usefull in its own right, I worry that it will be cut down and mangled to fit in with the lack of detail in the renting page.  When I first came upon this article in wikipedia, I searched specifically for rental agreement, and I was happy to have such detail.  I dont want this lost to merging. --Chrisdab 23:16, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Agree.  They got merged and that was a mistake. I have restored the deleted content. --David Tornheim (talk) 23:16, 9 March 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Proposed merger with [[rental agreement]]

thread_title:  Computer hardware (and software) rental 

message: I've seen a lot of pages online referring to the owner as a "renter", and to the person leasing as a "rentee".  This to me makes certain sense since it's the same pattern as "employer" and "employee".  I'm not so sure if rentee is a real word or not.  Anyone know?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.248.32.99 (talk) 06:29, 25 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Rentee 

message: Another editor proposed this merger some time ago but there has been no discussion. I suggest that this is done, and then the current redirect Lease is redirected to Leasehold estate. There are also a number of merger proposals on that page that people might want to comment on. DWaterson (talk) 23:50, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Proposed merger with [[Leasing]]

message: Removed Mergefrom tag this date, per consensus above. Lease which also covers legal terms like Leasee and leasor already had tag removed in the nebulous past. // FrankB 21:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Adding link

Mention that Stephen Van Rensselaer III was given a huge land mass for free by a corporation in the "New World" & the rent he received made him one of the richest Americans ever.  Hillmon7500 (talk) 03:30, 4 March 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Anti-Rent War 

message: Like the debate over whether lease and renting should be merged, the same happened with lease and rental agreement.  I have restored the rental agreement article and copied the material from this article to it.  I suggest we simplify/;summarize the material I copied from this article and refer editors over to rental agreement for the full text.

I have found that under the References section the second point Schenker, Jennifer. "Tough Times? Rent, Don't Buy, with Erento", BusinessWeek, 2008-08-22.
