So el lloguer means the rent, and Catalan often prefers that structure where English might use no article.

• Literally: The rent is monthly.

If the context is already clear, Catalan can sometimes leave things out, but the full sentence naturally uses el.

• it is the subject of the sentence
• the verb is és
