Renting A House
House For Rent, Rented House
noun, verbal noun
When you borrow a house you are renting a house. Also, this is a house for rent.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji, but in this case the second kanji can be read with either the on'yomi or kun'yomi. This uses a less common kun'yomi of 家, so here's a mnemonic to help you:
If you're renting a house, someone has to give you the keys and let you in and stuff. You're only renting, after all. So when they let you in they'll say, "Here's a shack for yah! (しゃくや) Enjoy!"
By the way, in the secondary reading しゃっか, the しゃく goes to しゃっ. This reading is only used in contexts like legal documents, though, so しゃくや is likely to be far more useful for most people.
