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.
Items available for borrowing from the Lainappi self-service lending machine:
- Carpet cleaner
- Vacuum cleaner
- Window cleaner
- Step ladder
- Cordless screwdriver/drill
- Hammer drill
- Toolbox
- Garment steamer
- Sewing machine
- Hand mixer and immersion blender (set)
- Waffle maker
- Outdoor games set (Mölkky and Petanque)
- Camping hammocks (2 pcs)
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

With this form, you can request items from the Tenants’ committee that are not available in Rentukka’s loan item machine.
