Equipment Rental Agreement
An equipment rental agreement is a document that sets out the terms under which one party rents specified equipment to another for a defined period in exchange for payment. Use this when you're lending or renting out equipment — tools, AV gear, machinery — and want clear terms on the rental period, deposit, and who's on the hook if something breaks.
