  > I think in America "lease" is more correct, but in many other English speaking countries, "lease" is the name of the legal contract, and "you rent apartments" is perfectly OK. In America, there are both rental agreements and lease agreements. Rental agreements are open-ended while lease agreements are for a fixed period of time. One of the most common forms is actually a hybrid - it's a one year lease that then becomes a month-to-month rental agreement. FWIW, many "apartment/house for rent" advertisements are actually solicitations for the hybrid agreement.
