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 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 Kortepohja Student Village Tenants’ committee has additional loan items besides those available in the loan item machine. Soihtu tenants and members of JYY can inquire about borrowing these items from the resident committee using the attached form.
Instructions for Renting
- Download Lainappi to your mobile device
- Select the “Rent from Box only” option on the landing page and type “Soihtu” in the
search field to browse the selection from this box. - Go to the item listing you want to rent and press “Rent”. You can schedule the rental for
your desired timeframe. - Once your rental reservation is confirmed, you can open the box directly from the app.
- You can return the item at any time within the rental period by opening the box through
the app.
Loan items of the Tenants’ Committee
With this form, you can request items from the Tenants’ committee that are not available in Rentukka’s loan item machine. Please make the request well in advance (at least 2 days) before the desired loan date. The loan items are located in Rentukka, and the Tenants’ committee will contact you to arrange the pickup.
