sewaan

Sewaan refers to the act of renting or leasing something. This could encompass a wide range of items or properties, from physical goods like vehicles, tools, or clothing to real estate such as apartments, houses, or commercial spaces. The concept of sewaan involves an agreement between two parties: the owner or lessor, who grants temporary use of their asset, and the renter or lessee, who pays a fee for that use.

In a rental agreement, specific terms are usually outlined, including the duration of the rental, the cost (rent), payment schedule, and any conditions regarding the use and maintenance of the item or property. For real estate, sewaan is a fundamental aspect of the housing market and commercial enterprise, allowing individuals and businesses to occupy space without the commitment of ownership.

The terms used can vary depending on the context and region. For instance, renting an apartment is commonly referred to as sewaan rumah or sewaan kediaman, while renting a car might be sewaan kereta. Similarly, the individual renting out the item is the tuan punya (owner) or penganjur (organizer/lessor), and the person renting is the penyewa (renter/lessee). This practice facilitates access to resources and services for those who may not wish to or cannot afford to purchase them outright, while also providing a source of income for the owners.
