I'm not really sure I understand the question but I'll talk about rent and hire The use of rent and hire changes in time and by geography. That is when I studied it I discovered the rules have changed both between USA and UK and from 1900 up until today. However a generally believed view is: You rent fixed things and you hire moveable things but You rent a room (note that both the owner and the renter, rent the room, though sometimes the owner "rents out" the room) You hire a dance hall rent a house You hire a car (though they are often advertised under rent-a-car and car-hire) rent a bicycle and in prostitution you use a rent-boy
