Rent is a monthly charge by an owner for providing apartments, land or office space.

In theoretical economics rent is a concept introduced by David Ricardo and is the the excess of the produce or return yielded by a given piece of cultivated land over the cost of production; the yield from a piece of land or real estate."[1]

The play

Rent is Jonathan Larson's 1996 Tony Award-winning Broadway musical (and film) about bohemians living in New York in the early 1990s. The plot and much of the detail is borrowed directly from Giacomo Puccini's famous 1896 opera La Boheme, set in Paris, which focused on the disease consumption (tuberculosis). In Larson's version, AIDS takes the place of consumption.
