These are different terms with different meanings. Renting is a broader term for the use of, or a license to use, property belonging to another in exchange for monetary payment or other consideration. This does not necesssarily require the parties to enter into a lease agreement. Leasing means the rental of property under a lease or rental agreement, such as a car or an apartment, or whenever a lease agreement is signed evidencing the rental of something of value. Therefore, leasing is a form of renting. One can rent something without leasing it, but one cannot lease something without renting it. For example, a person may be renting a pair of ice skates at the skating rink but may be leasing the car used to get there. Both are renting but only one is leasing.
