"Rent" or "Lease"

[Beth L.]

I notice that some use the term "For Rent" which is most common in our area, and some use "For Lease" which I seem to see mostly with commercial properties.

Which terms do you use? What's the difference...is there a difference? 

[Hattie Dizmond]

Agreed...they are used interchangeably. However...and please note this is just a personal observation and an opinion...I've noticed that the higher end properties tend to be more inclined to use the term lease and the more sophisticated tenants are the ones who will use the term "lease" in internet searches.  Like I said, it may be just random happenstance where I've seen those things collide.
