Renting/leasing furniture is becoming an attractive option for both homeowners and tenants alike. In the past, householders would go to their high street stores to buy major items of furniture, while today’s modern trend is to rent/lease almost everything!
Due to today’s economic climate, it’s becoming increasingly difficult to get on the property ladder, so more people are moving into rented accommodation. This leads to a larger number of tenants renting/leasing furniture, rather than buying because they haven’t reached the stage where they’re putting down roots permanently, according to market analysts.
Relocation furniture
When people have to relocate for work, education or other personal reasons, either temporarily or permanently, relocation furniture packages can be an excellent option.
Having your new living space ready so you can start working right away, without worrying about furnishing your home first, can help make the move hassle-free. It can be stressful enough starting a new job in a new area, without worrying about the expense of furnishing a house too.
For short-term moves that will lead you back home eventually, or for longer-term and permanent relocations, customise a furniture rental package for any size home to match your budget. Rental furniture can be installed quickly and fuss-free, so it’s perfect for people with busy schedules.
Emergency furniture rental
Of course, there may be other reasons why you might be forced to rent furniture. Sadly, fire or flooding can leave householders desolate. When you’re trying to deal with making your home habitable again after a disaster, such as the three recent storms in the space of a week, Furniture Rental Online’s emergency furniture rental can help get your life back on track.
We can assist loss adjustors, insurance companies, claims handlers and householders who have suffered damage to their property. If your furniture has been wrecked through any type of disaster, we’ll provide temporary furniture to help you get back on your feet.
Environmental benefits
Did you know using rental furniture can benefit the environment too? In the UK alone, around 22 million pieces of furniture are thrown away every year, the majority ending up on landfill sites. The main reason is because the furniture is in a poor state of repair.
Worldwide, an estimated 9.7 million tonnes of furniture are thrown away each year. This is the equivalent of 80% of all new furniture made in one year.
Only 10% of people say they will fix furniture items to extend their lifespan. Most people throw old items away and replace them. As the piles of discarded furniture mount, more damage to the environment occurs from the production process of the new furniture.
Convenience of leasing furniture
Leasing is a convenient method of funding your new furniture package. Rather than having to pay out of cash flow, credit cards or savings, set up a monthly fixed payment via direct debit. This means you can have the furniture you need right away, without worrying about making a hole in your budget.
Leasing is growing in popularity and is among the most commonly used methods of obtaining new furniture today. Most deals can be done without a deposit, but should you wish to make a down payment, this will reduce your monthly outgoings. All contracts are fixed, and the payment will remain the same for the duration.
