fare, fee, hire, rent, wages, charge
賃 centers on payment for temporary use or service: money given as fare, rent, wages, or a hiring fee.
賃 combines 貝 (shell, money) with 任, which likely contributes the sound and the idea of entrusting or employing. The character expresses payment entrusted for services or use.
The top 任 suggests a person entrusted with a task, and the bottom 貝 is money. Imagine handing money to a hired worker: that payment is the fare, rent, or wages.
For チン, picture paying rent with a handful of shiny coins that make a 'chin' sound as they drop into the landlord's hand: chin -> チン.
