Vermietung vs Verkauf

sale / sales

'der Verkauf' and 'die Vermietung' can both mean that someone receives money for something. The important difference is what happens to the thing. In a 'Verkauf', ownership changes: afterward, the thing belongs to the buyer. In a 'Vermietung', someone is only allowed to use something for a certain time and pays rent for it. The words are especially easy to confuse with apartments, cars, or equipment. Ask yourself: Is the thing being given away permanently? Then use 'Verkauf'. Is it only being made available for use? Then use 'Vermietung'.
