Safety Guidelines

Your safety and security are our top priorities. Follow these guidelines for a safe rental experience.

Before Renting

  • Review the item owner's profile, ratings, and reviews
  • Read the item description carefully and ask questions if anything is unclear
  • Verify the item's condition through photos and descriptions
  • Communicate through the OMU messaging system to keep records

During Pickup & Return

  • Meet in a public, well-lit location when possible
  • Inspect the item thoroughly before accepting it
  • Take photos or videos of the item's condition
  • Return items on time and in the same condition as received
  • Document any damage or issues immediately

For Item Owners

  • Provide accurate descriptions and photos of your items
  • Disclose any defects, damage, or special requirements
  • Screen renters by reviewing their profiles and ratings
  • Set clear rental terms and conditions
  • Consider insurance coverage for valuable items

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Requests to communicate or pay outside the OMU platform
  • Prices that seem too good to be true
  • Users with no reviews or suspicious profiles
  • Pressure to make quick decisions without proper review
  • Requests for personal information beyond what's necessary

Reporting Issues

If you encounter any safety concerns, suspicious behavior, or violations of our community guidelines, please report them immediately. We take all reports seriously and will investigate promptly.
