I'm not sure if it's officially correct, but I've heard both "rent to" and "rent from" used colloquially in (American) English.

- thaumasiotes 7y agoI'm sure you're also able to indicate the roles of tenant and landlord in Spanish. But just like in English, you're not required to.
- the_af 7y agoRight! You have "propietario" (the person who owns the property) and "inquilino" (the person paying the rent). But confusingly enough the verb is still "alquilar" ("to rent") for both :) So if you say "voy a alquilar esta casa" ("I'm going to rent this house") it's not clear whether you're the landlord or the tenant.
- jessaustin 7y ago"Renter" would also be ambiguous, although "lessor" and "lessee" do have specific meanings.
- yesbabyyes 7y agoIn Swedish, it's also the same word ("hyra") but the meaning is conveyed by adding "ut" ("out"). So the tenant hyr what the landlord hyr ut.
