About ReRent
ReRent makes home-sharing on platforms like Airbnb easy for anyone by providing linens, professional cleaning and managing the process from end to end. We eliminate the hassle normally involved in hosting. ReRent is about getting more from what we already have. It’s about minimizing waste and getting more out of our homes through home-sharing, so in turn the world can get more out of its housing. Learn more from our: Techstars Demo Day Pitch or our 1-pager.
