What can I rent out?
The Lainappi application can be used to rent any items that do not violate the Lainappi terms & conditions.
The most popular categories among Lainappi are: tools, sports and leisure equipment, household and garden equipment, electronic equipment and party wear.
The season should also be taken into account in each item. For example, in winter, people don’t just mow the lawn.
