Loan & rent items
You don’t need to own everything yourself! In Rentukka we have loads of items to loan & rent. We have cleaning equipment, tools and all kinds of fun stuff for free time activities. In Rentukka Lobby you can now find a loan item machine, where you can rent various items from sewing machines to textile cleaners and tools.
The machine is operated through the Lainappi app. This way, you can easily borrow items by picking them up from the machine whenever it suits your timetable.
The loan item machine in Rentukka lobby will be available starting from September 1st.
