Shared risk registry for shed rent-to-own
Check the customer before you rent the shed.
RTOAsk lets shed businesses see whether a customer has a history of missed payments, damage, or reselling a unit without authorization — and report incidents of their own — so you can rent with confidence and protect what you own.

Who It's For
Built for everyone in the shed rent-to-own chain.
Every business that touches a rent-to-own shed carries some of the risk — and can see part of the picture. RTOAsk brings them together.
RTO Companies
You carry the financing. Know a customer's history before you approve, and document losses when they happen.
Shed Dealers
Renting to own on your own lot? Check the registry before you commit a unit to a new customer.
Delivery & Hauler Crews
You're on site during a repo — the only ones who see the shed's real condition. Document damage or a missing unit firsthand, with photos.
Manufacturers
Protect the units you build and finance by keeping bad-faith resale and default out of your network.
What RTOAsk Is
A shared record of what really happened.
Two things every member can do — before and after a shed leaves the lot.
Search a customer
Before you rent, check the registry. A clear result means you proceed with confidence.
Report an incident
When something goes wrong, document what happened so other members are protected too.
Shed rent-to-own runs on trust: you hand over a building worth thousands and count on the customer to pay for it and take care of it. Most of the time, that's exactly what happens.
But when a customer stops paying, damages the unit, or sells the shed out from under you on Facebook Marketplace or Craigslist, you're the one left with the loss — and you usually find out too late to do anything about it.
RTOAsk is a shared risk registry built specifically for the shed rent-to-own industry. When something goes wrong, members file a risk report documenting the incident. Before renting to someone new, any member can search the registry to see whether that customer already has reports on file. Clear? Proceed with confidence. Not clear? You know before the shed leaves your lot.
