Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

No, boomers do still own most things.
We rent this mess now
We lease this mess now, for $0 down payment and 5.6% APR*
*For 3 years, then APR subject to change on the whims of the owner
Real talk, I honestly don't get the point in leasing, or even how it's different from renting. Sounds more like renting with a different name.
Lease has a specific term, generally long. Rent implies short term or indefinite length.
Typically, leasing is long term and renting is short term (contract length I mean)
You're correct. They are the same. Loan may also apply.
However, depending on where you are, there are regional differences in where the terms get used. Locally, you rent an apartment but lease a warehouse (why?). Also, if you rent an apartment and turn over your lease agreement to another person, you are sub-letting the apartment. And "let" also means lease in this context. Err rent. Fuck, I've gone cross-eyed
