How it works

Rent what you need.
Lend what you don’t.

LNDLI connects you with neighbors to borrow and lend everyday items. Here’s the whole loop — from finding something to getting paid.

For renters

Borrowing an item

  1. 01

    Find it

    Browse or search for what you need from neighbors nearby — tools, cameras, gear, anything.

  2. 02

    Request to book

    Pick your dates and send a request. Choose LNDLI Pay (online) or arrange a Personal Transaction with the owner.

  3. 03

    Get your pickup code

    Once the owner accepts, a 4-⁠digit pickup code appears in your profile under “My Rentals.”

  4. 04

    Meet & pick up

    Show the owner your code at handoff. They enter it in their app to confirm you’ve got the item and start the rental.

  5. 05

    Return & confirm

    When you return the item, confirm it in the app. That releases payment to the owner. If nobody confirms or reports a problem, the rental closes automatically 7 days after the return date.

For owners

Lending your stuff & earning

  1. 01

    List your item

    Add a few photos, set your price, and describe it. Listing is always free.

  2. 02

    Connect payouts

    Link your bank once (via Stripe) so LNDLI Pay earnings land automatically. We never see your bank details.

  3. 03

    Accept requests

    Review who wants to rent your item and approve. A 4-⁠digit handoff code is generated automatically.

  4. 04

    Confirm the pickup

    At handoff, enter the renter’s 4-⁠digit code to start the rental. No code, no start — it protects both sides.

  5. 05

    Get paid

    When the renter confirms the return (or 7 days after the return date if no one reports a problem), LNDLI releases the rental minus its 10% fee ($1.50 minimum) to your bank. With code UMMAT during launch, you keep 100%.

Paying

Two ways to pay

With LNDLI Pay, renters see the true price and our fee comes out of the owner’s side. With a Personal Transaction, the renter covers a small service fee at booking — and the owner keeps the full rental.

LNDLI Pay

Pay securely online. LNDLI holds your payment and releases it to the owner once you confirm the item came back. Best for peace of mind.

Platform fee, paid by the owner10% · $1.50 minimum

Personal Transaction

Prefer to settle in person? Arrange the rental directly — cash, Zelle, Venmo, whatever works. LNDLI’s service fee is charged to the renter’s card at booking, and refunded if the owner declines. No held payment, deposit or Protection.
