When You Should Rent Instead of Buy

Should you rent or buy? We often hear this question in regards to homes, but this is actually a legitimate question in regards to furniture as well. There are many instances where renting furniture is a much better choice than purchasing it. Here's a look at why you might rent furniture rather than buy it.

RENTING FURNITURE

There are many individual and unique reasons why someone might be better off renting furniture. However, there are some circumstances that create key benefits for renting over purchasing.

• You need furniture for more than three months but less than two years
• You need furniture now, but your location for the next few years is not certain
• You need furniture, but you're not prepared for the up-front costs of purchasing it
• You will receive funding for moving and/or renting space and/or furniture
• You will have permanent furniture later, but you need something now
• You want to express yourself in your temporary space
• You like to change your style frequently

RENTING VERSUS PURCHASING

It's no secret that buying furniture is expensive. If you are in a space temporarily, it can be especially difficult to pay those initial expenses for furniture and then move it around if your circumstances change. Renting furniture is especially advantageous for those whose future is uncertain. Maybe you are working somewhere temporarily, but you're not sure for how long. Maybe you are waiting for a promotion that will move you overseas. Whatever the case, rental furniture gives you freedom and flexibility.

Even if you aren't living in uncertainty or in your space temporarily, renting might still be right for you. Renting furniture lets you change your style without long-term commitment. If you can't decide on your dining area, rent tables and chairs for a while. Add a new chair to the living room to get a change of scenery.

These are just a few reasons why you should consider renting furniture. Central Rent to Own has fantastic options for any room and any style. Contact us to learn more!
