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

- Month-to-month按月續租 월 단위 계약
- Renewal續約 계약 갱신
- Break the lease提前解約 중도 해지
