Where should I use 租借 {そしゃく} or 賃貸 {ちんたい} or [リース ]{りーす}?


I'm a beginner in Japanese. So far I learned the following three words have
the same meaning - **Lease** (noun).

  1. [租借]{そしゃく} 
  2. [賃貸]{ちんたい} 
  3. [リース]{りーす} 

Where should I use them appropriately and what are the differences among them?




As a beginner, you would not need to know **_any_** of the three words if you
want to know the truth. Seriously, you would clearly need to know at least a
few thousand other words already to use any one of those three correctly and
naturally in a sentence.

Above is my answer in all honesty, but in case you insist...

「租借」 is the leasing of a territory between two countries. A good example would
be that between England and China regarding Hong Kong that ended in 1997. 「租借」
is **_far_** from being an everyday word because it simply does not happen
everyday.

「賃貸」 is an everyday word among adults, if not among children. It means
"renting" ("letting" in British English?) a house, apartment, etc. for money.
You can talk about renting a place by using the easier verbs 「[貸]{か}す」 and
「[借]{か}りる」 instead of using the somewhat technical noun 「賃貸」.

「リース」, of course, means "lease". In real life, it is most often used in
business to describe the (long-time) leasing of machines and equipment such as
copy machines, vehicles, etc. Not exactly an everyday word for everyone.
