1 / 4认得Recognize看到这个英文，我知道它大概是什么。I see it, and I know roughly what it is.
Lease
leess
租约
임대 계약서
Where you'll see it你会在哪里看到
- 租房广告（12-month lease）
- 租约的第一页
- 管理处寄来的签约 email
- 在线签名的页面
What it actually means白话说
你和房东签的租房合同，上面写租多久、每个月付多少、水电谁付。签名之后，双方都要照上面写的做；想提早搬走会怎么算，也是看这一份。
Common mistake常见的误会
Lease 是整份合同，不是房租金额；房租是 rent。广告上的 12-month lease 是租约一签 12 个月，不是一次付 12 个月的钱。
