Hello, guys. Can you help me out with this?
I know that "to rent" means both to provide something for rent and to take something for rent. It puzzles me a bit when I have no context.
Example: I rented a car at $100.
What does it mean? Did I earn 100 bucks by giving that car to someone or spend them because I needed a car? What is the correct way to say (with no context) that I provided that car for rent? Shall I use "rent out" and is it acceptable in official documents? And which one is for taking that car?
P.S. "lease" also means something similar but can we use it in cases like "lease a car" or "lease an appartment"? Or is it for business purposes only?
Thank you in advance.
