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 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.

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.
