Rentalic.com: Rent out your household items

I tried to start a similar sort of service in my village, but there are problems. What if the item gets broken? What if the item gets lost? What if the person using it hurts themselves with it? What if they simply don't give it back?

It would be interesting to see how this service plans to answer these questions.

Per the FAQ: There can be security deposits for damage and loss.

They are conspicuously silent on the missing question:

I lopped my arm off with this negligently maintained chainsaw, who do I sue?

Actual site: http://www.rentalic.com/

(I would have submitted that directly, but if you are like me and your zipcode is empty, it's easier to figure out what it does from the consumerist article)

Hi Frossie,

What do you mean by your zip code was empty?

Don't panic, I just meant there was nothing for rent on my nearby zipcodes so it was quicker to read about the site than to try it out, being that I couldn't remember any of the major metropolitan zipcodes (which presumably would have had some kind of listings).

I'm in rural Hawaii so I often have this problem - I am thinking I should memorise some Silicon Valley zipcode just so I can use it to try out websites :-)
