Definition
承租 means 'to rent' or 'to lease' specifically from the tenant's perspective — you are the party taking the lease, not the landlord. The opposite direction is 出租 (to rent out). Use it with property, equipment, or land you pay to use for a period. It is a formal verb common in business, real estate, and legal contexts.
