Rent is like borrowing a toy from a friend. You get to play with the toy, but you don’t own it. You have to give it back after some time. When you rent a house, it’s like borrowing a big toy. You live there, but it still belongs to someone else. You pay them money every month to use it, just like you might give your friend a cookie or candy for borrowing their toy.
Think of rent as a special kind of trade. You trade money for a place to stay, like trading your snack for a toy. It’s a promise that as long as you keep trading your money, you can keep using the house.
Renting is also like a library book. You take the book home, read it, and enjoy the story. But after some time, you bring it back to the library. Renting a house means you can live in it and enjoy your time there, but someday, you might have to move out and let someone else live there. It’s a way to share spaces without owning them.
