Lease lend refers to providing something, generally equipment or property, to someone for a specified period in exchange for rent or a fee. Synonyms for lease lend include lease, rent, hire, let out, loan, and give away on lease. The synonyms vary in terms of the duration of the lending, the amount of control retained by the owner, and the purpose of the arrangement. For instance, renting generally refers to short-term arrangements for personal property, while leasing is often a long-term arrangement for personal or commercial property. Giving away on lease may suggest a more generous deal, while loaning is often for specific, short-term purposes, such as borrowing a tool or equipment.
