Step-by-Step: How Furniture Rental Works

Renting furniture shouldn’t feel like a project. No matter where you’re headed or how long you’ll be there, CORT makes it easy to get quality furniture in place fast. With flexible options and zero guesswork, you’re always in control.

Let’s walk through it.

Choose Your Location and Rental Duration

Start with where you’re living. Just enter your ZIP code and tell us how long you need your furniture — whether that’s one month or a year.

Rent furniture on your terms – with national service and flexible prices.

The longer you rent, the lower your monthly cost.

And yes, we serve most of the U.S. (Need international service? Head to cortglobal.com.)

Choose Your Furniture Package or Customize Your Own

Wondering what you can rent?

The answer: anything you need. With CORT, you can shop online or talk to a human — your call. Whether you want us to fully furnish your space with a Move-In Ready® package chosen for you, or you just want to select the furnishings you need yourself, we’ve got you covered. If you’re not sure what fits, our team can help select furniture that fits your floor plan, your lifestyle, and your budget.

Confirm Your Details and Lock It In

Once you’ve built your setup, it’s time to lock it in:

Create your account.

Set your delivery date.

Sign your lease.

Pay your first month.

All online. All in minutes.

Schedule Delivery and Setup That Fits Your Life

You pick the date. We handle the details with delivery and set it all up. No boxes. No toolkits. No missing parts. Just a clean, livable space the moment you walk in. That’s why we offer delivery windows, automated updates, and real-time communication from our team upon request.

Need us to set everything up while you’re at work or in transit? No problem. Just make arrangements for us to get entry and we will set everything up. We’ll make it move-in ready—beds made, kitchen essentials unpacked and put away, even the shower curtain hung (if you’ve added housewares to your furniture package).

And because everything is CORT Clean Certified™, you can rest easy knowing every piece has been professionally cleaned, sanitized, and inspected before it reaches your door. It’s clean like you’d clean it — maybe better. Just one more way we help you feel at home—faster.

Easy Pickup When You’re Ready to Move On

Plans change and needs can shift. With CORT, you’re not locked into long-term decisions or rigid terms. You can extend your lease, swap pieces, or when you’re ready, schedule a pickup—and we’ll come take the furniture away for you, without added stress.

Per your lease agreement, pickup requests must be submitted at least 15 calendar days in advance. This gives us the best chance to coordinate your preferred date and avoid any additional charges.

To schedule your pickup, log in to your CORT.com account and select Support, or email us at pickup@cort.com. You can also call 833.981.0080 (press 1) with your lease number and requested pickup date.

No selling, no hauling, no figuring out what to do with the furnishings you leased. And if you want to keep any of the furnishings, or need furnishings for your next move, we’ll help you make that happen.

We’re here to flex with you, not the other way around.
