technical question

what are the main types of "rent" in economics? (I'm not talking about
a user fee, as paid to rent an apartment.)

there's a natural-scarcity rent (Ricardo), technical rent (superior
technology), what's now called monopoly rent (monopoly profits), and
politically-granted rent (super-profits due to tariff protection and
the like). Any others?
