1 / 4認得Recognize看到這個英文,我知道它大概是什麼。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.

Lease

leess

租約

임대 계약서

Where you'll see it你會在哪裡看到

  • 租屋廣告(12-month lease)
  • 租約的第一頁
  • 管理處寄來的簽約 email
  • 線上簽名的頁面

What it actually means白話說

你和房東簽的租屋合約,上面寫租多久、每個月付多少、水電誰付。簽名之後,雙方都要照上面寫的做;想提早搬走會怎麼算,也是看這一份。

Common mistake常見的誤會

Lease 是整份合約,不是房租金額;房租是 rent。廣告上的 12-month lease 是租約一簽 12 個月,不是一次付 12 個月的錢。

Often right next to it旁邊常出現的字

  • Lease term租期 계약 기간
  • 12-month lease一簽 12 個月的租約 12개월 계약
  • Month-to-month按月續租 월 단위 계약
  • Renewal續約 계약 갱신
  • Break the lease提前解約 중도 해지

Racco 說Racco says租約十幾頁,房東的介紹三十秒。剩下的都印在紙上。

2 / 4聽懂Understand對方講一整句,我抓得到關鍵字。They say a whole sentence. I catch the keyword.

You may hear你可能會聽到

Leasing agent

“It's a 12-month lease, and you can sign it online.”

租約是 12 個月,可以在網路上簽。

Listen for these words整句聽不懂沒關係,抓這幾個字

  • 12-month lease12 個月的租約
  • sign it online在網路上簽名
3 / 4開口Say不用講得完美,我有一句最簡單的可以說。It doesn't have to be perfect. I have one simple line.

You can say你可以說

How long is the lease?

租約是多久?

Can I read the lease first?

我可以先看一下租約嗎?

Can I get a copy?

可以給我一份嗎?

4 / 4實戰Survive真的遇到了,我知道現在發生什麼。When it really happens, I know what's going on.
