What is the Rentals Marketplace?
The Rentals marketplace lets players lend and borrow gaming equipment — monitors, keyboards, controllers, gaming chairs, capture cards, and more. It's ideal for:
- Trying out high-end gear before buying
- Borrowing equipment for a tournament or LAN event
- Earning passive income from gear sitting unused
Renting Equipment
1
Browse listings
Go to /rentals and filter by category, location, date availability, and price per day.
2
Check availability
On a listing page, view the availability calendar to make sure the item is available for your desired dates.
3
Submit a booking request
Select your start and end dates, then click Request Booking. The listing owner receives a notification and has 24 hours to accept or decline.
4
Payment held in escrow
Once the owner accepts, your payment is charged and held in escrow. Funds are only released to the owner after you confirm receipt of the item.
5
Receive and use the item
Coordinate collection or delivery with the owner via the in-platform messaging system. Inspect the item when you receive it.
6
Return and confirm
Return the item in the agreed condition on the final rental day. The owner confirms its return, and escrow is released.
⚠️
Always document the condition of the item (photos/video) when you receive and when you return it. This protects you in case of any dispute over damage.

Rental Disputes
If there's a disagreement about item condition or a late return:
- First, attempt to resolve directly with the other party via messages.
- If unresolved, open a dispute from the order page within 48 hours of the rental end date.
- Upload all photographic evidence of the item's condition.
- Nitrade's support team reviews and arbitrates, with a resolution typically within 3 business days.
- Damage deposits are partially or fully retained based on the ruling.
