What are you renting?

As a tough economy continues to squeeze many budgets, the rental market is expanding beyond traditional items like apartments, houses, and cars. Tools, heavy equipment, and other big-ticket items that were once considered important to purchase are now being rented instead. Whether it's for personal or business use, Fronteras wants to learn more about what sorts of things you're renting. Tell us by filling out the form below.

Everything you share will be read by journalists only, and your responses are confidential unless you tell us we may publish them. If you have any questions about this project, contact Nick Blumberg.
