Tiivistelmä
Globalization, digitalization and trust between people are three major reasons for increasing amounts of online products, services and renting which are becoming the new era of the 21st century. In the past decade we are seeing businesses like Airbnb, the largest accommodation provider which does not own any real estate, or Uber, the largest taxi company which does not own any vehicles.
The author of this thesis gathered data by conducting a survey. The objective was to figure out, would people mainly in Finland see potential in a renting application and if so, what elements should it consist of and why.
In this thesis, a qualitative and quantitative survey served as a primary data-collection method. In addition to this, a comprehensive conceptual framework and interview gave an overview of key findings, concepts and developments in relation to the studied topic. Based on the information gathered from the survey, suitable suggestions could be proposed.
As a result, the findings emphasized; renting agreements must be based on law, renting platform has to be simple, easy to use and have a rating system. In addition, items which are drastically affected by hygiene were mentioned several times.
