Common Household Items You Can Rent Out

Have you ever considered that your everyday household items could be a source of extra income? All of those items you have lying around your home, from power tools to baby furniture and seasonal decorations, can easily be rented out to those in need. Of course, trying to rent these items out on your own can be confusing or put you at risk of not getting them back. Fortunately, with WEquip, we make it easy, organizing the common household items you can rent and opening up a world of financial opportunities. 

Why Rent Out Household Items?

Renting out household items is a smart way to unlock financial benefits while contributing positively to the environment. Not only does it provide you with an additional income stream from items that would otherwise be gathering dust, but it also promotes the efficient use of resources. By sharing and renting items, we help reduce waste and promote a sustainable lifestyle. 

Tips for Renting Out Household Items

When listing your household items for rent, it’s essential to follow a few best practices. Remember, clean and well-maintained items will attract more potential renters. Research similar listings, consider the item’s condition, market demand, and location to set a competitive price. Use high-quality images and accurate descriptions to showcase your items effectively. When you list items for rent, ensuring they are detailed and appealing will increase the likelihood of attracting renters.

The Common Household Items You Can Rent

Home Improvement and Maintenance

1. Power Tools: DIY enthusiasts often require specialized tools that are expensive to purchase, especially when they’ll only be used a handful of times. Listing power tools for rent can help those individuals save money on one-time projects.
2. Ladders: Ladders are needed for various tasks, but not everyone owns one – or one that’s tall enough for a particular need. Renting these out offers a practical solution for such situations. 
3. Lawn Mowers: Lawn mowers are expensive seasonal tools. Whether someone is saving money to purchase a new mower or theirs is out of commission for the time being, renting lawn mowers allows others to maintain their lawn without the need for extra storage or purchasing one for temporary use. 
4. Pressure Washer: People don’t generally need a pressure washer on a daily basis, but when they’re needed, a good one can be quite expensive. Offering a pressure washer for rent helps those that have occasional cleaning needs save money over purchasing a new one.
5. Paint Sprayer: Paint sprayers are perfect for large painting projects, but another one of those tools that may only get used once in a blue moon. Renting them is a cost-effective solution for those occasional painting projects around the home.

Hobbies

6. Camping Gear: Not everyone goes camping on a regular basis, so investing in camping equipment would be a poor decision for most. Renting out the equipment you have allows less frequent camping enthusiasts to enjoy the outdoors without spending money unnecessarily. 
7. Bicycles: Occasional riders or visiting tourists may wish to explore a local area or trail without having to purchase a new bike. Renting out bicycles is a great way to help those individuals. 
8. Fishing Equipment: Fishing gear can be expensive, especially for those who only enjoy it from time to time. Renting this equipment provides an affordable option for those who are fishing infrequently or only need the equipment once while in the area. 
9. Sewing Machine: For many individuals, sewing machines are not used daily, but can be expensive and take up a lot of room in the home. Renting a sewing machine is an excellent option for those occasional sewing projects. 
10. Musical Instruments: Musical instruments can be costly, especially if someone is just trying to decide what instrument they’d like to learn to play. Renting allows beginners to try different instruments before committing to an expensive purchase, while also allowing experienced musicians a chance to play a higher quality instrument than they currently own.

School and Office

11. Printers: Printers can be essential, but not everyone needs one regularly, especially as documents become available more online. Renting a printer when needed offers a practical solution to those occasional projects.
12. Projectors: Using a projector is ideal for presentations, movie nights, or large events, but they can be quite expensive to purchase. Renting them is an economical solution for occasional use. 
13. Shredder: Shredders aren’t generally used daily, but when you need one, they can be expensive to purchase. Renting a shredder offers a convenient, cost-effective solution for those needing to safely dispose of sensitive documents.
14. Office Furniture: In these days of working from home, couches have become the new workspace. However, in the event someone requires a more professional set up for a temporary meeting or to use for a brief time, renting office furniture offers an ideal way to set up a temporary workspace or for use during events. 
15. Whiteboards: Whiteboards are handy for meetings and presentations, but they aren’t always necessary, especially if they take up a lot of storage space. Renting them on occasion provides an efficient, affordable solution.

Baby and Children

16. Strollers: Traveling families or parents needing more comfortable transport for their child on an occasional basis won’t always have the space to bring a stroller or the financial means to purchase a stroller. Renting out strollers helps these families get the help they need to keep their child safe and comfortable without the financial burden. 
17. Car Seats: Families traveling with small children may not always have a car seat with them as they take up quite a lot of space, especially on airplanes. Renting them out makes travel more convenient for parents while offering them vehicle safety when necessary. 
18. Baby Cribs: Whether it’s for a traveling family short on space, a grandparent that only gets the occasional visit, or a family acting as a temporary guardian for an infant or toddler, renting baby cribs offers a great option for them to save money. 
19. Highchairs: Those hosting a large gathering with friends or family that are bringing small children may not have a highchair handy, and they can be quite bulky to transport. Renting highchairs saves space money over purchasing one for temporary use.
20. Baby Monitors: Baby monitors are essential for safety, but they don’t always make it on family trips or in temporary guardian situations. Renting monitors offers a cost-effective solution for those occasional-use scenarios.

Seasonal Items

21. Halloween Costumes: Costumes are typically used only once a year, but they can be quite expensive to purchase. Listing a Halloween costume for rent is a great way to make some money back and reduce the waste of one-time-use materials. 
22. Christmas Decorations: Renting Christmas decorations offers people the ability to create a festive atmosphere for parties, events, and more without having to make a financial investment or take up extensive storage space. 
23. Party Supplies: Many party supplies are often single-use, with some simply getting thrown out once it’s over. Renting these out reduces waste and helps save money for occasional party hosts. 
24. Ski Equipment: Skiing gear can be expensive, especially when it’s only going to be used once or twice a year. Renting allows skiing enthusiasts (or those looking to try the sport when visiting the area) to enjoy the slopes without the upfront expense. 
25. Beach Gear: Beach gear is only usable in specific seasons or necessary for tourists on vacation. Renting offers an excellent way to have a fun day at the beach without having to purchase expensive gear, transport your own from potentially far away, and avoid the hassle of storage.

Furniture and Home Decor

26. Sofas: Individuals and event organizers will occasionally need temporary seating arrangements, such as for a wedding reception, to add that extra touch of flair. Renting out a sofa is ideal for those situations where making the investment does not make financial sense. 
27. Tables: Extra tables can be necessary for various occasions, but owning several tables doesn’t always make financial sense and can take up a lot of storage space. Renting them offers a practical solution for one-time gatherings and events. 
28. Chairs: Much like tables, several additional chairs are not always necessary. Renting chairs is cost-effective and convenient for temporary seating arrangements during parties and events. 
29. Rugs: Special events or home staging often require something a little extra, and a statement rug could be just what’s needed. Renting a rug saves those individuals the expense of purchasing a new one for temporary use. 
30. Home Appliances: Some appliances may only be needed temporarily for events or to give someone the ability to try out an appliance before making the investment themselves. Renting out home appliances is perfect for those who need something specific for just a brief time.
