Character Breakdown

Understanding 房租 (fángzū)

房租 means "rent" specifically for housing or rooms. It is a common term used when discussing the cost of renting an apartment, house, or room. The word combines (house/room) and (to rent), making it very straightforward.

Usage in Daily Life

房租 is typically used in contexts involving rental agreements, monthly payments, and housing costs. It often appears in conversations about budgeting, housing affordability, or lease contracts.

Common Collocations

  • 房租 (fángzū zhǎng): rent increase, used when rent prices go up.
  • 房租 (jiāo fángzū): pay rent, a very common phrase.
  • 房租合同 (fángzū hétong): rental contract, referring to the lease agreement.

Important Notes

When using 房租, it usually refers to the money paid regularly for housing, not commercial rent or other types of rent. For commercial properties, 租金 (zūjīn) might be more common. Also, 房租 is often discussed with time frames like (monthly) or (yearly).

Avoid confusing 房租 with 房价 (house price), which refers to the purchase price of a house rather than rent.
