to lease out
To make land, a building, or a business (e.g., a restaurant) available for use and for generating income in exchange for regular payment (a lease payment). Unlike renting out, leasing out allows the lessee to make profits from the leased property.

The old innkeeper leased out his restaurant because he wanted to retire.
The verb has the inseparable prefix 'ver-'. The word stem is 'pacht', which comes from the noun 'die Pacht' (the fee for use). 'Verpachten' (to lease out) therefore means to make something available for use in exchange for a lease fee.
Er hat seinen Bauernhof verpachtet und ist in die Stadt gezogen.
He leased out his farm and moved to the city.
The typical sentence pattern is: Person A (subject) leases out thing B (accusative object) to person C (prepositional object with 'an' + accusative).

You typically lease out objects with which the user can generate profit. These include agricultural land, gardens, restaurants, or entire businesses.

to rent out
Vermieten means allowing someone to use something in exchange for regular payment. Verpachten also refers to providing something for payment, but additionally emphasizes that the user may generate income from the land, building, or business provided. Verpachten is therefore often the more appropriate choice for commercial use.
