Bus/Financial - Finance (general) | | French term or phrase: à l'épreuve | | Le louage et la propriété à l'épreuve du crédit-bail et du bail superficiaire |
| | | vs. | Explanation:
"à l'épreuve de" can mean "compared with" or "facing competition from", depending on the context.
As this is the title of a book, I would simply use (vs.):
Property leasing and ownership vs. lease-purchasing and superficiary rentals
(http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/2275009930/qid...)
BTW: bail superficiaire means that only an part of the building is rented out, rather than the whole property, and the land itself is not included - e.g. renting an appartment, basement or garage in someone's house. |

1 hr confidence:  |
| Rental properties that are leased or the premises of which are leased
Explanation:
literally...renting and property that are "subjected" to leasing or whose premises are leased...
It just means rental properties..ones that are for rent that are leased or the premises of which are leased...
ie I own a bunch of buildings [I wish!] and rent them out..I can lease them OR lease the premises...leasing the premises in my mind means that at the end of the term they lessee has an option to purchase the building but not the underlying property ..
superficiaire refers to the area of the premises...ie buildings rather than the underlying LAND....IMO
