More to wear, less to own.
HOUSE GUEST connects people who own beautiful clothes with people who'd love to wear them. Here's how it works on both sides — and how we keep things safe.
For Renters
Filter by occasion, size, brand, colour and city. Save favourites with a tap.
Pick your dates and send a request. Nothing is charged — the lender accepts or declines, and you can cancel free until you pay.
For pickup, check the piece and confirm handoff before paying. For Uber courier listings, pay after lender acceptance and before dispatch. A refundable damage deposit is held with payment.
Bring it back clean by the agreed date. The damage deposit is only held, and it's released once the lender confirms the piece came back in good shape.
For Lenders
Snap photos worn and flat, set a daily rate and a damage deposit of up to $500. Offer local pickup, and enable Uber courier delivery where available.
Add your payout details once through our payment provider so earnings can reach your bank.
Accept a request to hold the dates, then meet your renter. They pay at the handoff — take photos of the piece's condition together.
Your payout starts once the payment is confirmed. HOUSE GUEST keeps 12% — you keep the other 88%. The damage deposit is never part of your earnings.
Trust & Safety
Every account verifies their email before listing or renting.
A damage deposit of $0–$500 is held on the renter's card at pickup, never charged, and released once the lender confirms a safe return. Long bookings are limited by how long a card hold can last.
If a piece comes back damaged, open a claim with photos. Only HOUSE GUEST can approve taking money from a damage deposit.
Renters and lenders can review each other after a completed rental.
Still being decided
We don’t yet have a set rule for cleaning costs, missed handoffs, or exactly what time a piece must be back on the last day. Rather than invent a penalty, we ask both sides to agree these in messages before the handoff. If something goes wrong, contact HOUSE GUEST and we’ll mediate.
