Monis.rent is a rental platform based in Bali that lets digital nomads and remote workers rent monitors, laptops, furniture, smart home devices, and more on a weekly basis. Designed around the idea that "access beats ownership," it offers same-day delivery, professional setup, and flexible pickup. Currently operating in Bali, the company plans to expand across Southeast Asia by 2027.
For digital nomads settling into a new place in Bali, furnishing a temporary apartment or home office can be a frustrating exercise. Buying quality gear for a stay of a few weeks or months makes little financial sense, and most rental options are either limited or informal. Monis.rent was built to solve exactly this problem.
Launched in Bali around 2023–2024, Monis.rent is a weekly rental platform targeting remote workers, expats, and nomads who need a fully functional home office — or even a fully furnished living space — without committing to ownership. Their tagline says it all: "Rent everything and be at home anywhere."
The catalog spans eight categories, covering nearly everything a nomad might need:
Whether you need a single external monitor to boost productivity or want to fully kit out a short-term rental, the platform has you covered.
The experience is designed to be frictionless. You browse the catalog, choose your rental period, and book online. Monis.rent handles professional delivery to your door in Bali, sets everything up, and comes back to collect when you're done. Same-day delivery is available, which is genuinely useful for nomads who move quickly and can't wait days for gear to arrive.
Pricing is transparent and weekly-based, making it easy to calculate costs against your stay length. The platform also runs promotions — at launch they offered a 50% discount on desks and chairs — and has a referral program that pays $20 in credits per referral.
The economics are straightforward. Renting a quality monitor for $5/week over a one-month stay costs around $20, versus $300+ to buy one and then deal with selling it or shipping it onward. The same logic applies across every category. For nomads who move every month or two and stay in furnished apartments that lack a proper workstation, Monis.rent fills the gap efficiently.
With over 150,000 customers served and plans to expand to Jakarta, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur, and Ho Chi Minh City by 2027, Monis.rent is positioning itself as the go-to rental infrastructure for Southeast Asia's growing remote-work population.
If you're heading to Bali and want a proper desk setup without the hassle, Monis.rent is worth bookmarking before you land.
