rent
'die Miete' and 'die Charter' can both mean that you use something for a certain period of time in exchange for money. 'Miete' is the normal, broad word, especially for apartments, rooms, or smaller things. 'Charter' is used much more specifically for large means of transport such as a ship, airplane, or bus, often for a trip or a special assignment. The words can be confusing because 'Charter' is a kind of rental. In everyday language, however, you say 'Miete' for an apartment and use 'Charter' only in special travel or transport contexts.
