For owners

Your wardrobe already works for you

Most people own a few outfits they wear once a year and never again. Listing them turns a wedding season into money, without you handing your things to a shop and hoping for the best.

Getting started

What a listing needs

The app asks for these, in this order, and it takes a couple of minutes. Photos matter most: they are what a renter decides on.

  • Photos of the outfit, front and back
  • What it is: lehenga, saree, sherwani, suit, gown
  • The fabric and the colour
  • The size, plus measurements if you know them
  • The condition, and anything that needs saying about it
  • The rent per day, the minimum number of days, and the deposit you want
  • The sale price, if you are open to selling it instead of lending it
Your terms

You set the numbers

There is no suggested price you have to accept and no benchmark to beat. You know what the outfit cost and what it is worth to you for a few days.

The deposit is yours to ask for

Many owners ask for a deposit equal to a day or more of rent, and some ask for none. It is collected at handover, held by you, and returned when the outfit comes back. Rentryo does not hold it and does not decide what happens to it.

You choose the dates

Availability is yours. You can open a listing for a season and close it for the wedding you are attending yourself.

The money

What happens to the money

Two different flows, and it is worth being clear about which one you are in.

When someone rents from you

The renter pays the platform fee to Rentryo in the app. The rent and the deposit are paid to you directly at the handover, in cash or by UPI, whichever you agree. Rentryo never holds that money.

It also means the money arrives when the outfit does, which is exactly when you would want it.

When someone buys from you

Rentryo collects the whole amount, holds your share of it, and pays you out after the sale is complete and the buyer can no longer be refunded. That takes about ten days.

Until payouts are switched on for the platform, the team sends your money by UPI and records it against your listing.

What we do not do

The limits, plainly

  • We do not collect your outfit. It stays with you.
  • We do not deliver it or collect it. You meet the renter.
  • We do not hold rent or deposit money on a rental. That is yours and the renter's to settle.
  • We do not lend money, and there is no counter to borrow from.
  • We do not rate you, and we do not let renters rate you. Disputes are read by a person instead.
  • We do not share your number until you agree to it.
  • We do not hold dates on a request you have not answered. A request expires after 24 hours.
  • We do not decide who is right about a handover that did not happen. We read both sides and decide.
Owners ask

Common questions from owners

Is there a fee to list?

No. There is no listing fee and no joining fee. When something is booked, the renter pays the platform fee, and the rent and deposit come to you at the handover.

When do I get the money?

On a rental, the renter pays you directly when you hand the outfit over, in cash or by UPI. Rentryo never holds rent money on a rental. If you sell instead, Rentryo collects the whole amount and pays your share out after the sale is complete, once the buyer can no longer be refunded.

What if nobody answers my requests?

You can decline, or let the 24-hour window close. Either way the renter is refunded and your dates are released. A request left unanswered is closed as a decline, so it never sits in your list.

What if the renter does not show up?

Report it in the app. Someone on the team reads it and gets back to you. There is no automatic refund in that situation, because we hold neither the outfit nor the money and cannot know what happened at the meeting.

Can I decide who rents from me?

You accept or decline each request yourself, so you decide. If you would rather not rent to someone again, block them in the app.

List the first one

Start with the outfit you wore most recently and never wore again. It takes a couple of minutes to list.
