'die Verleihung' and 'der Verleih' are closely related when it comes to making things available temporarily for someone to use. In everyday language, 'der Verleih' is the more common word for a shop or place where you can rent something for a fee, such as bicycles or equipment. It can also mean the process itself. 'die Verleihung' can also refer to this process, but sounds less common in this meaning. Also important: 'Verleihung' has another meaning too: the ceremonial presentation of prizes or titles. That is why learners can easily confuse the words.
