A rental contract is an agreement to allow the use of an asset for a period of time without ownership passing. The terms ‘hire’, ‘rent’ and even ‘lease’ are often used as synonyms, with the differences related to context. Typically equipment is rented on a short-term basis where the nature of demand does not warrant outright purchase. See also Contract, Hire.
