Doesn't that make it a rental instead of a lease
2 comments

The only reason “rental” and “lease” aren't the synonyms they usually are in auto land is because “rental” is used when the period is very short term, and “lease” is used for a period, generally, of a few years.
Leasing and renting are synonyms; I've always seen them used interchangeably.
