What's the difference between renting an apartment and leasing a house?
assistant
The primary difference between renting an apartment and leasing a house is that an apartment typically refers to a unit in a multi-unit dwelling, such as a condominium or apartment building, while a house is a standalone property that is leased out directly to the tenant. With an apartment, the tenant is generally responsible for a monthly rental fee, while a house typically includes house fees such as electricity, heating, water, and garbage disposal. Additionally, lease agreements for a house are generally longer in length than a rental agreement for an apartment.
