My team and I have decided to no longer pursue with iRentHappy.

Thank you to our friends, family and supporters, in enabling us to bring our disruptive idea to life in just 6-9 months. It has been an amazing journey, where we have all learnt a lot about entrepreneurship and about ourselves.

The Rental Industry is definitely one needed to be disrupted, and we are excited for other start ups game-changing the way this industry is done today.

Our entrepreneurship journey has just began and we take these learnings to better the next ventures we embark upon.

Signing off... your friends, iRentHappy.
