Let is a slang term for hosting a perosn who pays to live in your house or room. It is, in the U.S. a term for permissive borrowing or for lending with compensation. We don't use it much, though it does apppear in news copy, so as to lower advertising expense. "Room to Let" is common. "House to Let" is not.
Rent is a legal term to convey something of value for a specific purpose, over a described period of time, for compensation that are all in a binding contract. "Room for Rent", "House for Rent",
are common. "Rental" is a common, and cheap, title for an ad.
We pay by the character, in any ad in the classifieds portion of our newspapers, in the U.S.
