Pronunciation of 家 in ...家ちんも安い


Here's the actual sentence:

> 私の部屋は、家ちんも安いし、駅にも近くて便利です。

How do you read '家ちん' and what does it mean? It's most likely that ちん is
usually written in kanji since I got the sentence from a Japanese textbook for
beginners.




It's pronounced `やちん`, and written `家賃` if using all kanji. It means
"[rent](http://jisho.org/words?jap=yachin&eng=&dict=edict)", as in "the rent
for this place is expensive".
