gemietet

Gemietet is the past participle of the German verb mieten, meaning to rent. It is used with the auxiliary haben to form the perfect tense, for example: Ich habe eine Wohnung gemietet or Wir haben ein Auto gemietet. The verb mieten denotes the action of renting something as a tenant or consumer.

Gemietet can also function as a predicative or adjectival participle to indicate that something has been rented. For instance, Das Auto ist gemietet means the car has been rented.

As an attributive adjective, gemietet is declined like a regular adjective after articles. Examples include das gemietete Auto, eine gemietete Wohnung, and die gemieteten Wohnungen. With possessives the same pattern applies: mein gemietetes Auto, meine gemietete Wohnung, unsere gemieteten Wohnungen. In predicate position, the form remains gemietet: Die Wohnung ist gemietet.

A common source of confusion is the related verb vermieten, which means to rent out something (generally by a landlord). The passive or descriptive variants differ in meaning: Die Wohnung ist vermietet means the apartment is rented out to someone, while Das Auto ist gemietet simply states that the car has been rented by someone.

In summary, gemietet is the past participle of mieten, used in perfect tenses and as a descriptive adjective for rented items. It is distinct from vermieten, which expresses the act of letting property to others.
