Own to Rent

You may already be familiar with websites that let you rent textbooks, toys or handbags. They are worth considering if you need to use something for a short time and really don’t need to own it.

But did you know you could rent out things you already own? While eBay became a huge marketplace for people to sell their things to other people, these websites allow people to rent to each other.

Whether the owners of items are professionals or just people who have stuff they are willing to lend out, the transactions are covered by agreements about fees, rental time and return condition.

Two of the companies you can try are Zilok and Rent Instead. Neither charges a fee to list, so take a look around your house and see what could be earning you some extra money.
